Earthquakes at volcanoes
Recent shallow earthquakes near volcanoes: Earthquakes often precede volcanic eruptions. Find out where the latest earthquakes in the vicinity of volcanoes have occurred.
Krakatoa explosion
Eruption from close: On 17 Oct, explosions were particularly violent at Anak Krakatau. We show a series of images of a spectacular explosion captured from close range by boat.
Igneous rocks
Igneous or magmatic rocks: The most primitive rock type forms when magma (molten rock) solidifies - either inside the earth (plutonic rocks) or during volcanic eruptions (volcanic rocks). A short overview.
Armenia
Photos from Armenia: Armenia is a very photogenic country with a large variety of landscapes showing some very spectacular geology, century-old monasteries and castles, and much more.
