Background

The Crary Mountains consist of two large shield volcanoes, Mount Frakes and Mount Steere and the smaller Mount Rees and Boyd Ridge volcanoes. Mount Steere is dissected, but the younger Mount Frakes is relatively undissected has had flank vent activity as late as 1.7 million Potassium-Argon years ago (LeMasurier and Thomson, 1990).

La Palma Eruption </br>29 Nov - 03 Dec 21

La Palma Volcano Special
We offer a short-notice tour to see the eruption on La Palma in a small group guided by a volcanologist (Evelyne Pradal - English and French speaking geologist.)

Earthquake report

Monthy earthquake reports
For each month since July 2012, we publish a summary of quake activity world-wide: find the list of largest quake, a map showing all significant quakes as well as detailed statistics on seismic activity during this time.

Hot Spots

Intraplate volcanism
A third tectonic setting where volcanism occurs is believed to be the result of mantle plumes and not directly related to plate boundaries. So called hot spot volcanoes fall into this category.

Dallol

Dallol hot springs
One of the most bizarre landscapes on earth: Dallol is a vast and very active hydrothermal field creating a colorful array of hot springs, small geysers, salt towers, colorful lakes and ponds in the middle of the deepest part of the Danakil desert and the Karum salt lake.
