Stromboli, Aeolian archipelago, Italy - 19 and 20 Aug 2026

Just moved to PDX. Really loving the volcanic backdrops.

Early morning hike to the rim of the active Yasur Volcano.

First picture is us driving towards Mount Shasta, next three are close to the Peak in Lassen Volcanic National Park, and the last two are crawling around the caverns of Lava Beds National Monument.

This was a really cool multi part series (4 episodes I think) where french geologist Guy de St Cyr took groups of people to the various incredible volcanoes all over the world - Hawaii, Vanuatu, Ethiopia and Eastern Africa. This aired in 2008 or so and is one of the coolest volcanoe shows/docs I've seen - the problem is I can't find it ANYWHERE - I just want to watch it again -hell I would even pay for a DVD or bluray of the episodes but cant even find that - anyone out there happen to know where I could watch them, or maybe has hi-res rips of the episodes? I know it's a long shot. thanks anyway

🌋 Mount Taranaki — one of New Zealand’s most iconic mountains! 🇳🇿

Rising 2,518 metres above the Taranaki landscape, this perfectly shaped volcanic cone is hard to miss. Māori know the mountain as Taranaki Maunga, and it holds deep cultural significance.

It’s also famous for its dramatic beauty — on a clear day, you can see this incredible mountain rising above the surrounding farmland and coastline. 🏔️🌿
