Fumarole vents
Fumarole vents on the flanks of the Kilauea volcano, on the island of Hawaii, USA. Fumaroles are vents in volcanic areas that eject acidic gases and steam. They arise as subterranean water, which contains dissolved sulphur, that is heated by molten rock close to the surface. The sulphur is deposited as a yellow solid (upper centre) around the vents

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing fumarole vents on the flanks of the mighty Kilauea volcano, situated on the enchanting island of Hawaii in the United States. Fumaroles are natural openings found in volcanic regions that expel acidic gases and billowing steam into the atmosphere. In this remarkable image, we witness these vents emerging from beneath a lush fern-covered landscape. The fumaroles owe their existence to subterranean water, carrying dissolved sulphur, which is heated by molten rock near the surface. As a result of this intense heat, yellow deposits of solid sulphur form around these vents (visible at upper center), creating an otherworldly sight against the backdrop of volcanic rocks. The rich mineral-stained terrain surrounding these fumarole vents adds to their mystique and allure. The vibrant hues left behind by nature's artistic hand create a striking contrast with the verdant plants and ferns that thrive amidst this geologically active environment. This awe-inspiring photograph not only captures one of Earth's most dramatic displays but also serves as a reminder of our planet's raw power and beauty. It invites us to contemplate both its destructive potential and its ability to nurture life against all odds. Let it transport you to this extraordinary corner of Hawaii where fire meets earth, leaving behind an indelible mark for all who dare to explore its wonders.
