Pilot tours
Exploring the unknown: We sometimes invite you to "test" new itineraries or destinations with us. Such trips are a reduced cost and require a higher degree of flexibility, but often offer a great deal of adventure.
Germany
Photos from Germany: Germany has a large number of volcanoes - most of them extinct, but the Eifel volcanic field is still potentially active.

Plate Tectonics
Introduction to Plate Tectonics: The Earth's upper, rigid layer is broken into several plates which are in constant motion to one another. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur as result of these plate boundaries.
