Batu Tara
Batu Tara photos: A remote island in the Flores Sea of Indonesia formed by a single volcano that has been in strong strombolian eruption for years. We regularly lead expeditions to there where we camp several days to observe it.
Bromo
Bromo volcano photos: Bromo is one of Indonesia's most visited volcanoes. It is the most active vent inside the huge Tengger caldera and erupts every few years.
Colima
Colima volcano photos: This beautiful stratovolcano in western Mexico is one of the most active volcanoes on the American continents. It is known for its often spectacular explosions and sometimes glowing avalanches.
Dallol
Dallol hot springs: One of the most bizarre landscapes on earth: Dallol is a vast and very active hydrothermal field creating a colorful array of hot springs, small geysers, salt towers, colorful lakes and ponds in the middle of the deepest part of the Danakil desert and the Karum salt lake.
Dukono
Dukono volcano photos: Dukono on Halmahera in Indonesia has been in permanent activity for years, often producing ash plumes that drift around the northern part of the island and have become normality.
Eyjafjallajökull
Eyjafjallajökull volcano photos: The volcano in Iceland with the unpronounceable name... but famous in 2010 when its ash clouds drifted over Europe and forced a unprecedented large-scale airspace closure for several days, stranding millions of passengers.
Erta Ale
Erta Ale volcano photos: During our numerous expeditions to Erta Ale and Dallol, we have documented the active lava lake and its surroundings and changes over the years.
Ätna
Ätna Vulkanfotos: Europas größter und aktivster Vulkan ist ein Universum in sich. Wir stellen Ihnen Bilder über fast 20 Jahre Ausbruchsgeschichte und mehr zur Verfügung.
Fuego
Fuego volcano photos: One of Central America's most active volcanoes, Fuego in Guatemala is in near-permanent explosive eruption with intermittent phases of increasing activity that generate lava fountains, lava flows and pyroclastic flows.
Gorely
Gorely volcano photos: Gorely is a young and very active shield volcano in southern Kamchatka. It is one of Kamchatka's easiest volcanoes to climb and offers stunning views into vast craters and the surrounding landscape.

Yasur Vulkan (Tanna, Vanuatu), Sep 2010: strombolianische Tätigkeit und Ascheausstoß (32 Bilder)
The photos were taken during 25-28 Nov 2012 when we visited the remote Komba island consisting of Batu Tara volcano during our recent volcano expedition to Indonesia. The volcano has been in continuous strombolian eruption, at fluctuating levels, since 2006. Very favorable weather and sea conditions allowed us to land several times on the narrow beach a few 100 m south of the eastern collapse scar of the volcano, the only place on shore from where the vent and its eruptions are visible. During our stay, activity varied from day to day, and consisted in frequent ash venting, mild to powerful strombolian eruptions accompanied by loud detonations and ejecting bombs to several hundred meters height above the vent, located at about 500 m elevation inside the deep collapse scar. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Im August und Anfang September 2011 war Stromboli Aktivität ungewöhnlich starke Ebene. Leistungsstarke Explosionen vom NE Vent gesendet Bomben oft mehr als 500 m hoch, Pizzo und die Bastimento Anzeigen von Bereichen (10-jähriger die meiste Zeit) zu erreichen. Kleine Intracrater Lavaströme wurden in dieser Zeit auch beobachtet. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Nyamuragira Vulkan (DR Kongo): der Ausbruch Nov 2011 in Bildern (7 Bilder)
Unser Freund Paul Hloben besuchten die Website Eruption am 19-20 November (Sondergenehmigung war nötig, um mehr als eine Nacht bleiben). Eine Auswahl seiner Fotos sind hier. Er stellt fest: "die Eruption von der früheren kontinuierliche Lava konnten fast kontinuierlichen strombolianische-Typ Aktivität geändert (sprengt jede Sekunde oder so). Wöchentlich meldet nach GVO, dass es scheint eine normale Entwicklung. Diese Art von Aktivität war genau das, was Haroun Tazieff beschrieben sehen N-Gira im Frühjahr 1948 in Crateres de Feu: "jeder zucken Zorn wurde gefolgt von einen kurzen Moment der Ruhe. Braun oder blau, erschüttert der Rauch stieg in schweren Spiralen, während einem ohrenbetäubenden, ähnlich wie ein Monsterhund Vulkans. Die Nerven hatte keine Zeit zu entspannen, so nah war eine andere plötzliche Zittern, einem anderen Explosion, die Rückkehr von der Glut, start der neuen Volley. Die Bomben der Lava stieg mit einem Bordun." Wir beobachteten aus Süden (je nach Virunga NP Blog-Beschreibung). Es gab auf jeden Fall 3 Kratern entlang ausbrechen der etwa WE Fissur (nicht 100 % sicher über die Richtung). Es war wahrscheinlich eine oder 2 mehr vents spucken Lava, schwer zu sagen, (als pro mein video gestellt)." (Photo: Paul Hloben)

During the 2013 IAVCEI conference held in Kagoshima, Kyushu, Japan, from 19-24 July, Tom had the opportunity to visit the volcano (mainly in the evenings) and take pictures of the elevated activity the volcano was in during this time. Vulcanian-type explosions, sometimes powerful with ash plumes rising up to 20,000 ft (6 km) altitude occurred at exceptionally high rates of 5-10 per day, and during intervals, the volcano had often displayed (silent as well as loud) near-constant ash venting in combination sometimes with deep-seated strombolian activity.

With a small group we climbed Raung during 14-15 August 2015. The hike involves approx. 20 km trekking and almost 2000 m climbing along a mostly overgrown path as only few people visit this spectacular volcano, even though it is one of Indonesia's most active ones. We might have witnessed the end of the large 2015 summit eruption, which during June-early August produced large lava flows, lava fountains and significant ash plumes. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

Paul Reichert who took part in one of our latest Volcano Specials in January 2017 was lucky to witness one of Erta Ale volcano's most spectacular and intense eruptive phases in decades. A surge of magma from depth (probably a small rifting episode) caused the lava lake in the southern pit crater of the caldera to overflow, build up a broad shield, before it collapsed, following the draining of the lake through a system of flank fissures 2-4 km downhill from 21 Jan - a mere day after Paul and his group had left. The following is a selection of pictures of Paul, in approximate chronological order and annotated using the valuable field reports by Richard and our geologist expedition leader Enku who, along with Paul, were lucky enough to see this once-in-a-lifetime event. A big thank you goes to all of the three for sharing their information and images! Watch the videos: 16 Jan | 17 Jan | 18-19 Jan (Photo: Paul Reichert)

Methana gegenüber Athen im Saronischen Golf Griechenlands ist eine der unbekanntesten aktiven Vulkangebiete Europas. Die Halbinsel besteht aus einer Gruppe von überlappenden Lavadomen, die in prähistorischer und - einer davon - in historischer (ca. 238 v. Chr.) Zeit entstanden sind. Eine untermeerischer Vulkanausbruch fand zudem um das Hahr 1700 n. Chr nörlich der Halkbinsel statt. Methana ist bekannt für seine heißen Quellen und die wunderschöne, fast unberpührte grüne Berglandschaft. Teammitglied Fotograf Tobias Schorr hat mehr als 10 Jahren in Methan gelebt und kennt die Gegend besser als jeder andere. Vor kurzem beendete er ein Projekt, alle der über 30 Vulkandome Methanas aus der Luft zu dokumentieren: (Photo: Tobias Schorr)

During the first part of June, activity at Stromboli volcano was one of the most intense periods during several years. At most times, up to 6 or 7 vents were active, most notably the two eastern vents, closely followed and sometimes surpassed by the two western vents. The following pictures were taken on 9, 11, and 16 June, from various viewpoints and give an idea of this activity.

Mayon started to erupt again in January 2018, producing several lava flows on the southern and southeastern flanks along with frequent episodes of weak to strong lava fountaining and associated ash plumes, as well as pyroclastic flows triggered by collapse of the lava flow fronts. Since the eruption seemed to be relatively long-lasting, we decided to visit the volcano during 22-27 Feb. Activity had decreased to mostly quiet lava effusion when observed during the first days (22-25 Feb): [next gallery: Part 2 - explosions] (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer) Mayon volcano eruption 2018 (2 Gallerien)
Das meiste Material ausgeworfen während seines laufenden Ausbruchs ist Asche und Blöcke von den Krater und Conduit Wänden. Glühlampe Material (d.h. frisch Magma) wurde erstmals am Bromo in Dez 2010 beobachtet. Milde strombolianische Aktivität war in der Nacht während unserer Tour von 15-19 Feb, in der Regel Accomanied von zischenden und leisen Ex Sounds sichtbar. Mindestens zwei verschiedene Öffnungen waren aktiv Bromo Krater. Die meisten der strombolianische Aktivität fand vom Vent im W Hälfte (rechts in den Bildern) des Kraters, während ein Schlot in der östlichen Hälfte (links) war der wichtigste Ort der Asche Emissionen und gelegentliche leistungsstarke Explosionen begleitet von laut Detonationen und Schockwellen Rasseln Windows in bis zu mehrere Kilometer Entfernung.

On 23 August, the largest volcanic eruption in Iceland in over 100 years started from of Bardarbunga volcano with several phases of fissure eruptions above a large intrusion that had made its way for more than 40 km from the volcano's main reservoir. Tom flew over the eruption site in the late afternoon of 12 September 2014. Activity at the Holuhraun fissure (which had started on 30 Aug) was still going on strong, erupting about 200 cu meters of magma per second. The eruption fissure is located about 40 km north of Bardarbunga's central caldera, between Dyngjujokull glacier and Askja Volcano. After having started at the end of August 2014, it was still erupting about 200 cubic meters of lava per second, becoming the most important volcanic event of Iceland in the last hundred years. The lava now flows nearly 20 kms from the vents! (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer) Bardarbunga Vulkanfotos - Holuhraun-Ausbruch 2014 (3 Gallerien)
Impressions of Santiaguito volcano's activity during 26-28 Dec 2015 from our Guatemala volcano tour when we spent two nights on the summit of Santa Maria, more than 1000 m above the active lava dome - one (if not THE) best volcano observation spots in the world! (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer) Santiaguito (2 Gallerien)
Our recent Guatemala volcano tour coincided with the beginning of another (the 14th in 2015) paroxysm at Fuego volcano, which we observed from close during 29 Dec - 1 Jan. We used two different viewpoints at the base of the volcano, at approx. 5 and 7 km distances: first from near the INSIVUMEH volcano observatory (SW flank, first 3 rows of pictures), and from the SE (last pictures). The latter was chosen instead of initially planned Acatenango because of very bad weather and the presence of a new lava flow on that side. Many thanks for support goes to the friendly staff from OVFGO/INSIVUMEH, in particular Edgar Barrios! (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer) Fuego volcano (2 Gallerien)

Ijen volcano in East Java is famous for its acid crater lake and the large sulfur deposits that form around very active fumaroles near the lake shore. The sulfur in the crater is being mined. At night, some of the fumaroles are on fire, with intense bluish flames from burning sulfur. Partially, this is due to auto-ignition due to very high temperatures at the fumarole vents, but mostly because the workers set fire to the sulfur n order to melt it and collect it from the frozen puddles that then form on the ground below.

During our Batu Tara volcano expedition we stayed on the island from 30 June - 4 July 2015 and found the volcano in similar activity (strombolian) as during our other visits in Nov 2012 and 2014. However, during the night 2-3 July and early on 3 July, a phase of increased activity resulted in the formation of small pyroclastic flows caused by collapsing material ejected during the explosion and/or accumulated on the crater rim.
