About this website
www.VolcanoDiscovery.com is a complex website with many facets:- First of all, it represents the (very) small private tour operator company, founded by volcanologist Dr. Tom Pfeiffer back in 2004, which offers geologic-interest walking and study tours and expeditions to active volcanoes world-wide.
- In addition, this website has grown a lot with a large section about volcanoes, volcano news, volcano photos and earthquakes all over the world.
- The extensive volcano news reporting or the photo galleries go beyond the scope of attracting visitors as a means of publicity to "sell" our products. It's driven by our personal fascination about the incredibly varied and interesting world of volcanoes and earthquakes. You are more than welcome to contribute and join us, for example submitting volcano photos to the "Image of the Day" competition.
- There is no dedicated webmaster behind this website - all programming and coding is done in our free time, mostly by Tom. Sometimes, things don't work as intended and there are glitches here and there. We constantly try to improve the website and there are frequent small subtle changes which a non-regular visitor will hardly notice. We apologize if this website is not (and probably never will be) technically "perfect".
If you have feedback to send, suggestions, alert us of things that don't work - we are always thankful for your input!
Many greetings,
Tom / VolcanoDiscovery
