Kilauea Volcano Eruption April 2025
April 22, 2025 - Big Island, Hawaii, USA - Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists said episode 18 of the ongoing Kilauea volcano eruption ended abruptly. The north and south vents stopped erupting at approximately the same time. Lava erupted from both vents, scientists said, with fountains from the south vent reaching over 600 feet high. Fountains from the north vent, meanwhile, remained below 200 feet high. (Credit Image: © USGS/ZUMA Press Wire (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

Galapagos animal paradise
August 5, 2024 - Galapagos Islands, Ecuador: A marine Iguana sits on rocks on Chinese Hat, Sombrero Chino Island. The Galapagos archipelago is known for its rich animal life: wide variety of finches, swimming marine iguanas, flightless cormorant, fur seals living side by side with tropical animals, and many more species. The government of Ecuador designated part of the Galapagos a wildlife sanctuary in 1935, and in 1959 the sanctuary became the Galapagos National Park. In 1978 the islands were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site, and in 1986 the Galapagos Marine Resources Reserve was created to protect the surrounding waters.

What lies beneath: the hidden caves buried under Auckland back yards
Rich history to 200 caves - from housing a secret printing press to widow's shelter - as steps taken to protect the 'sacred' sites.
Aucklanders are familiar with the volcanic terrain of their city above ground, living side by side with 53 volcanoes. Yet many are unaware of the extraordinary landscape concealed beneath their feet. Formed by volcanic eruptions, lava caves and tunnels are rare globally, and the sprawling patchwork beneath Auckland is unique to New Zealand. The city sits on top of roughly 200 known caves with a new cave being discovered every month.
270224 Inside Sean Jacob at the entrance to his backyard lava cave in Mt Eden, Auckland. Sean bought the property in the 1990’s to protect the lava cave beneath it. Auckland's underground lava cave network - with geological and social history.
The caves have been used over the years as everything from Maori burial sites to mushroom farms, to housing a covert communist printing press.
They form an expansive network underneath the city, and now researchers are attempting to map them all, and in the process discovering a new cave roughly every month.

'One day it will just go off': are Naples' volcanic craters about to blow?
Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient craters in the south of Italy, is more active than Vesuvius, and residents live with daily tremors.
Solfatara is located in Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient volcanic craters near the southern Italian city of Naples, parts of which were described in a study this month as edging towards "breaking point".
The sprawling volcanic area, home to at least 360,000 people across the seven most at-risk inhabited hubs, is not as well known as nearby Mount Vesuvius, whose eruption in AD79 wiped out the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Part of the reason is because you can't see it: instead of resembling a characteristic cone-shaped volcano, Campi Flegrei, which can be translated as "burning fields", is a seven-mile-long caldera, or depression, formed 39,000 years ago after an eruption emptied it of magma. Subsequent eruptions - the last in 1538 - created a series of small hills and craters.
But looks can be deceiving. Campi Flegrei is much more active than Vesuvius, and is among the most dangerous volcanoes in Europe.

Subsequent eruptions - the last in 1538 - created a series of small hills and craters.
But looks can be deceiving. Campi Flegrei is much more active than Vesuvius, and is among the most dangerous volcanoes in Europe.

'One day it will just go off': are Naples' volcanic craters about to blow?
Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient craters in the south of Italy, is more active than Vesuvius, and residents live with daily tremors.
Solfatara is located in Campi Flegrei, a constellation of ancient volcanic craters near the southern Italian city of Naples, parts of which were described in a study this month as edging towards "breaking point".
The sprawling volcanic area, home to at least 360,000 people across the seven most at-risk inhabited hubs, is not as well known as nearby Mount Vesuvius, whose eruption in AD79 wiped out the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Part of the reason is because you can't see it: instead of resembling a characteristic cone-shaped volcano, Campi Flegrei, which can be translated as "burning fields", is a seven-mile-long caldera, or depression, formed 39,000 years ago after an eruption emptied it of magma. Subsequent eruptions - the last in 1538 - created a series of small hills and craters.
But looks can be deceiving. Campi Flegrei is much more active than Vesuvius, and is among the most dangerous volcanoes in Europe.

Pozzuoli, Italy - View of the Temple of Serapide in Pozzuoli. The Temple of Serapis is one of the best known and most representative monuments of the Campi Flegrei: it is located in the center of Pozzuoli, a few steps from the docks of the port. Towards the middle of the 18th century, King Charles of Bourbon, intrigued by the large columns of cipollino marble that emerged from a background known as the "Vineyard of the three columns", (Antonio Niccolini, "Description of the great Terma Puteolana, commonly called Tempo di Serapide" , Stamperia Reale Napoli 1846), ordered an archaeological excavation and, under many meters of marine residues, the so-called Temple of Serapis was unearthed, which, over the centuries, has become the symbol of Phlegrean bradyseism. In fact, there are numerous images that portray it now semi-submerged from sea level, now completely dry.
