Plate Tectonics
Introduction to Plate Tectonics: The Earth's upper, rigid layer is broken into several plates which are in constant motion to one another. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur as result of these plate boundaries.
Kilauea
Kilauea volcano, Hawai'i: Kilauea is the most active volcano on earth, in constant eruption since 1983!
Volcanic features
A selection of photos of different features: lava flows, lava fountains, lava lakes, fumaroles and more.
Erta Ale
Erta Ale volcano photos: During our numerous expeditions to Erta Ale and Dallol, we have documented the active lava lake and its surroundings and changes over the years.
