Volcanic Landscape

Here are views from one of the parking areas I stopped at, where I walked up to the top of a volcanic cone. It wasn't all that huge but I got a great view from the top as shown in the main photo. As well as the crater, which you can see in another photo, you can also see the orange tint to the rocks and a close up of a rock I picked up along the way. It was extremely light to hold which meant the lava was full of gas when it was flowing.

Walking up was no problem, but returning was somewhat tricky due to the very strong winds. At one point I thought I'd get blown off the top and finding my footing between the rocks, whilst being blown about, was quite hard. It was very much worth the effort though.Leer más
