Krknice - What I Like

Las Montanas del Fuego

The Canary Islands are volcanic, and sit off the coast of North Africa, though they belong to Spain. Lanzarote is one of the most popular tourist destinations there, but away from the beaches those of us interested in geology can wander over (or overfly) one of the eeriest volcanic landscapes that are easily accessible. Produced by a series of eruptions in 1730-6 from the now dormant Timfaya volcano, the area was designated a national park in 1974 in order to follow the gradual recolonisation of the landscape by life (see https://bit.ly/2y4HXRf).

My tortoise Ozzy just had her 4th birthday, so I made her a watermelon and cantaloupe layered cake with carrot candles. She had zero respect for my presentation. 

Spectacular orographic cloud over Klyuchevskoy In a recent post (see http://tinyurl.com/ktcrny2) we shared a photo of an agate with a pattern just like a lenticular cloud over a mountain. Here we present the real thing, forming as air rises and sinks over the Kamchatkan stratovolcano, condensing and re evaporating its moisture as it rises and falls. A tiny plume of volcanic steam from degassing magma is poking out of the top of the cloud. This smoker is the most active on the peninsula, hanging off Russia’s far east, and has been erupting on and off all year.

Colors in the sky

I had my mind blown this night with the best display of aurora I’ve ever seen. I travelled 2000 miles to stand on this beach and the universe definitely provided!! This is the view over the Vestrahorn in South East Iceland. What a night!![OC] 2950x2034 - Author: BenBushphoto on reddit
