Erta Ale + Dallol expedition Nov-Dec 2010 - photos:

VolcanoDiscovery stayed on Erta Ale between 25 and 28 November. We were surprised to find the south crater filled with fresh flows, and the lava lake overflowing onto the caldera. The following photos, arranged in chronological order, give an impression of the activity and the changes of the lava lake in the south crater. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)
