Illustrated with 200 spectacular photographs, Volcano is
a fascinating visual journey around the globe, selecting the most
striking live and extinct volcanoes from Alaska to Antarctica, from
Tanzania to Tasmania, from Kamchatka in Russia's far east to Indonesia
and the Philippines.
Did you know that there are
more than 60 active volcanoes in Europe today? Or that the
longest-existing lava lake is in Ethiopia? Or that Mount Stromboli off
the coast of Italy has been in almost continuous eruption for the past
2,000 years? Alongside famous volcanoes such as Mount Etna in Sicily,
Mount Vesuvius on the Italian mainland and Mount St. Helens in
Washington State, this book features many lesser-known but equally
interesting volcanoes across all the continents. Each entry is
accompanied with a fascinating caption explaining not only the
geological forces at work, but also how the volcano has shaped the
history of the surrounding areas across millennia. Presented in a
landscape format and with outstanding color photographs of around 100
entries, Volcano is a stunning collection of images.
