[Rockhounds] The Most Beautiful Volcanoes In The World

[Axel Emmermann]

I think it may be a case of mistaken identity.
This photo of "Yellowstone Volcano" looks VERY much like the Bocca Nuova
crater of Mount Etna on Sicily, Italy.
I distinctly remember this view from the time I was there (1984) and there
was a violent eruption ongoing. I stood where this picture was taken, I'm
pretty sure of that. Not entirely sure but pretty sure ;-)
It looks different on more recent photos but so does Mnt Kilimanjaro... The
snow 's gone...

Cheers
Axel
