Background:
The dissected Tangi stratovolcano, occupying the southern end of New Britain's Cape Gloucester Peninsula, contains a breached summit crater and a single flank cone on the SW flank. The degree of erosional dissection suggests activity ceased during the Pleistocene (Johnson et al. 1971).---

Raung volcano photos: One of the largest and most active volcanoes in East Java, rarely-visited and relatively unknown Raung became (in)famous during its recent eruption in 2015 when its frequent ash plumes forced the repeated closure of Bali's airport.
Ubinas activity updates: The most frequently active volcano in Peru entered a new eruptive phase in 2014. Updates and news are regularly posted on this page.
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.
