Volcanic eruption C014 / 3018
Volcanic eruption. Night view of a lava fountain eruption on Stromboli, Italy. The bright lines show the trajectories of lava bombs, blocks of molten rock, thrown out by the volcano. Despite the impressive size of this lava fountain, Stromboli presents little danger. Almost permanently active, the volcano is releasing gas and lava pressure gradually and is thus very unlikely to erupt explosively. Stromboli is 924 metres high, and forms an island to the north of Sicily

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring power of nature in action. Illuminated against the dark night sky, a volcanic eruption on Stromboli, Italy, paints a mesmerizing scene. The fiery lava fountain shoots up into the air, creating bright lines that trace the trajectories of molten rock bombs hurled by the volcano. Despite its impressive size and intensity, this eruption poses little danger to nearby inhabitants. Stromboli is known for its continuous activity and gradual release of gas and lava pressure, making it highly unlikely to erupt explosively. Standing tall at 924 meters high, this stratovolcano forms an island off the coast of Sicily. The image showcases both the beauty and volatility inherent in volcanoes. The vibrant red hues symbolize intense heat while highlighting the explosive energy contained within Earth's crust. This photograph serves as a testament to our planet's geological wonders and reminds us of our humble place amidst these natural forces. With elements like fire, hot magma spewing into the night sky, and billowing smoke adding drama to this composition; it offers a glimpse into one of Earth's most fascinating phenomena - volcanic eruptions. It invites viewers to contemplate not only their own insignificance but also their responsibility towards preserving fragile ecosystems shaped by such geological events. Photographed by BILDAGENTUR-ONLINE/MCPHOTO-HUWILER/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print captures an extraordinary moment frozen in time – forever reminding us of nature's raw power and beauty
