"I felt it" reports:
Dumbéa- New Caledonia / MMI II (Very weak shaking): I collect old glass bottles. Some of them are put near a large window. All of them started to ring for 3 - 4 seconds. Some hung artifacts have also moved. As our house is in wood, everything can be immediatly felt.

Kelut lava dome
Kelut volcano's lava dome in 2007: One of the most impressive lava dome eruptions in recent years. A new dome formed in the crater lake of Kelut volcano (East Java) in late 2007. Enjoy some unique pictures.
Krakatoa video
Krakatoa explodes: In the afternoon of 17 Oct, a particularly violent explosion occurred at Anak Krakatau, blasting away a portion of the southern crater rim. A similar event might have been the final trigger for the catastrophic landslide that let the cone collapse and cause a devastating tsunami on 22 Dec 2018.
Ethiopia
Ethiopia and the Danakil: Ethiopia is a very diverse and beautiful country. Thanks to our numerous expeditions to Erta Ale and Dallol and beyond, we have an extensive collection of images showing the volcano's lava lake, the desert, the colorful hot springs of Dallol, the vast salt lakes, camel caravans and more.
Kamchatka
Photos from Kamchatka: Kamchatka in Russia's far east is one of world's remotest regions and has an almost unparalleled density of active volcanoes. Look at photos taken during our expeditions from this wonderful corner of the world!
