Premium Framed Print : Volcanic crater lake
Framed Photos from Science Photo Library
Volcanic crater lake
Volcanic crater lake. Crater lakes form when a volcano creates a large crater in an eruption, which then becomes filled with water. Such lakes are often hot and acidic. The soil and waters around a volcano are rich in minerals and can support a wide variety of plant life. Photographed on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), a volcanic island in the South Pacific Ocean

17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the mesmerizing beauty of a volcanic crater lake. Located on Easter Island (Rapa Nui), a remote volcanic island in the South Pacific Ocean, this stunning natural wonder is a testament to the raw power and geological forces that shape our planet. Crater lakes are formed when volcanoes erupt, creating massive craters that eventually fill with water over time. These unique bodies of water are often characterized by their hot and acidic nature, making them inhospitable for many forms of life. However, despite these harsh conditions, the soil and waters surrounding such lakes are rich in minerals, providing fertile ground for an array of plant species to thrive. In this photograph, we witness the vibrant vegetation that has managed to adapt and flourish amidst this challenging environment. Lush mosses and algae blanket the rocky edges of the caldera while various types of plants dot its surface. The contrasting hues created by these resilient organisms against the backdrop of deep blue waters create a visually striking scene. Easter Island itself is renowned for its intriguing history and enigmatic stone statues known as Moai. This image serves as a reminder that beyond its cultural significance lies an awe-inspiring natural landscape shaped by powerful volcanic activity. Science Photo Library continues to capture breathtaking moments like these – showcasing Earth's wonders through their lens while reminding us of our planet's incredible diversity and resilience.
