Metal Print : Lava flow and vent
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Lava flow and vent
Lava flow. Night time view of lava flowing from a small vent on Etna. This vent is a hornito, a relatively small outlet which is normally only throws out lava bombs. On occasion, the changing internal structure of the volcano may mean that a hornito becomes the easiest route for lava to reach the surface, and becomes the site of an effusive eruption. Etna is the largest active volcano in Europe. Although internal pressure is normally released by gentle Strombolian activity, Etna also has periodic episodes of intense lava production. Photographed on 1 November 1999

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a lava flow and vent on Etna, Europe's largest active volcano. Taken at night, the image showcases the intense glow emanating from a small vent known as a hornito. Normally, this outlet only ejects lava bombs; however, when the internal structure of the volcano changes, it can become an essential pathway for molten rock to reach the surface. Etna is renowned for its gentle Strombolian activity that releases internal pressure regularly. Yet, periodically, it undergoes episodes of heightened volcanic activity with intense lava production. This particular moment was captured on November 1st in 1999 when such effusive eruption occurred. The photograph not only highlights the raw power and heat associated with volcanic eruptions but also provides insight into geology and geophysics. The flowing lava demonstrates motion and movement while showcasing different viscosities within its composition. Science Photo Library has masterfully documented this natural phenomenon without mentioning any commercial use intentions. Through their lens, we are transported to witness nature's awe-inspiring forces at work – reminding us of both Earth's incredible geological processes and our own fascination with them.
