Visited the active and dormant craters of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the BIg Island! Mt. Fuji in Japan was the first time I had ever visited a volcano, however, in 2001.

 Went to Kīlauea in Hawaii on my grad cruise

We covered Ijen Crater on June 4th 2015 and Mount Bromo on June 5th. Both places were active volcanoes located in East Java, Indonesia. The views were magnificent and blew our minds away. The climbings were done right after midnight and trekking under the moonlight and cool wet nights. It felt like being in a different realm altogether. Worth all effort especially to witness Blue Flame Phenomenon at Ijen Crater, being the largest in the world.

Mount Etna, Sicily.

The Quill dormant volcano on St. Eustatius island in the Caribbean.

Also, the Boiling Lake in Morne Trois Pitons National Park in Dominica.

 Winter 2009

Amazing, this is just 1 of the 5 active volcanos in Costa Rica. 

Family trip in 2011. Drove up the west coast starting in Huntington Beach and ended in Seattle. On the way saw many wonderful sites including this Volcano.

 I visited Timanfaya National Park in Lanzarote. The earth was ashy. All of Lanzarote is volcanic. It was very cool to see it. The main Volcano (Timanfaya) is still active and they use it to cook the food at the restaurant there. All in all it was an educational day out. Mum however, did not like the terrain as some of the road were quite steep and narrow. Worth paying the extra money to get a guide.

Frozen Volcano in Iceland!

16th March 2014 

Year 10 trip to Iceland

Iv visited Mt Teide three times and managed to get to the top twice. The last time being with my fiancé mark in November 2014 while visiting Teneife to celebrate my 30th Birthday. The picture is of Mark at the top (I'm taking the photo) and the view from the car as we drove up to the cable car. It was a beautiful day and an amazing view. 

Mount Vesuvius 2011

I visited an active volcano during my trip to Nicaragua with Jakob Eckhardt. I rated it a 3 because it was so hard to see due to the smoke, it made our eyes burn terribly!

Izta popo :)

I love catastrophes and the power released during them - volcanos being very high on the list of impressive natural forces not to mess with. Therefore, hiking on a volcano, maybe even glimpse lava somewhere, is something I've always wanted to do.

Reached my goal in Feb 2014 during holidays in Costa Rica on Arenal volcano. No lava but hiking an old lavastream from one of the earlier erruptions. Volcano itself was off limits since a few months before some tourists died due to the toxic gases released every now and than (since it was an active volcano).

Still, an amazing experience with lots of crazy stories from our tour guide.

In around and near a volcano! To be continued...

 Tenerife is a volcanic island mostly made by the Las Cañadas volcano, but I saw a lot of volcanoes throughout Tenerife :)

I am going to Pompeii this June so hopefully will se Mount Vesuvius and complete this one! One more natural goal completed.

Did not go to Pompeii cause it was boiling and I didn't have hiking shoes...

Years later I went to Nicaragua and we drove to the top of Masaya Volcano outside of Granada and saw lava, truly cool
