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.

 Did it in Hawaii! 

Amazing

 

Visited the vulcano Teide in Spain 

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

At University, I studied BSc Geography which meant I learnt a lot about volcanoes. I also went on two trips abroad; one to Tenerife and one to Iceland. In Tenerife I climbed Mount Teide, and in Iceland I climbed Mount Hekla. As well as this, I volunteered abroad in New Zealand, which meant I saw many volcanoes there too! I climbed Mount Maunganui here. I'm currently visiting iceland again at the moment, and just yesterday, I saw Eyjafjallajokull, so that was cool too.

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.

This was on a coach trip to visit an active volcano on Lanzarote but it was all very "controlled", remain in the coach blah, blah. Disappointed. Would love to get closer. Maybe Hekkla in Iceland one day?

 

She erupted not long after we visited!

Indonesia, Ratnapurna 3726 m.o.h med Andrea.

 

On my trip trough Bali we went by the two most famous volcanos in Bali; Mount Batur and Mount Agung.

Year 10 trip to Iceland

 

 

 

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

I visited Nisyros, Greece, in 2008 together with my mother. We stood on the bottom of this Vulcano. The last time it errupted was in 1888. It was an amazing experience!

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.

 

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.

Visited Volcano at Lanzarote

 Amazing!! Despite the sea sickness I experienced getting there and back - definitely a place you must visit when you're in New Zealand as it absolutely spectacular.
