Long track entering the region of 140 volcanos

A camel train passes by like in ancient arabia

This morning we are going g to climb this "boy"

Fine slippery gravel, sliding down constantly

Huffing and puffing our way up in the early morning light

The rains of the last weeks have made the desert explode in a sea of flowers

The "black" volcano in the distance that has poured out its lava over the whole region.

The white volcano dominating the region despite attacks by "darth vader". (Black lava field visible)

On to of the white. The crater looking like yin & yang

The land of 140 volcanos

This region is one of 140 volcanos and huge lava fields. The fascinating thing is, they all vary in colour, from black through white and red.
On top of it these last weeks, there have been several rainfalls, and the desert has exploded with flowers and grass.
Sooo beautiful!

We are drive into the region of the white volcano, amidst a sea of black ones,
and get up at sunrise and 10 degrees centigrade to climb the one overlooking it. The slopes, while not looking dramatic, consist of a fine gravel that slips away as soon as you step on it. After much swearing and intensive use of our sticks, we reach the top amidst a 30-40kph wind, which adds to the chill. So we immediately returned down again, took a rest, and then confronted the white volcano in the afternoon with the same fine gravel constantly sliding. Czytaj więcej
