Geography Story: Paralyzing beauty of volcanoes

Volcanoes fascinate with their power and eruptions. Lava flow creates stunning landscapes which are full of danger and beauty at the same time. Many people are eager to see volcanoes with their own eyes and they have no fear of eruptions. Here are stunning pictures of active volcanoes from all over the world.

#1 Mount Bromo is an active volcano in Indonesia

#2 Masaya Volcano is the most active volcano in Nicaragua

#3 Though Strokkur is not a volcano, it is worth mentioning. This geyser in Iceland erupts every 8 minutes

#4 Krakatau is located in the Indonesian province of Lampung

#5 Volcán de Fuego is a stratovolcano in Guatemala

#6 A massive lava flow in the Hawaiian Islands

#7 Mount Agung is the highest point on Bali

Visited an active Volcano in Vanuarto our guide advised us to not run if it started erupting but instead look up, aparantly if it was spewing lava most rocks would be the size of a Volkswagon and we are safer staying put. Fortunately the main action was on the other side of the crater to where we were. And my wife reported she had to go to the warmest long drop (toilet) she had ever used.

How about Ruapehu in the North Island of New Zealand, and Whakaari/White Island, off the West Coast of the North Island also, New Zealand. I have done the trip out to Whakaari a few years before it had its big eruption which killed and injured many tourists. It is closed now, but the experience was unforgettable.

In 2012 my husband and I visited Mount Etna in Sicily and he even toured around with a group and guide. Then a few days later we were on the train heading to Taormina, Sicily and saw Etna smoking from a distance it was a great experience.

I have climbed to the top of Vesuvius and Poas in Costa Rica. Lucky both times as it was cloudless and we could see the crater clearly. But my favourite volcano to see was Misty in Peru. I didn’t go up but saw it from the city of Arequipa. It’s majestic!

Kilauea on the Big Island is a shield volcano. Here it is depicted as a mountain spewing lava when in fact the lava comes up to the land surface and travels along the terrain’s surface. Good to do your homework.
