Dan's Gallery of Volcano Photos V olcanoes are dramatic surface expressions of incredible processes that occur within the earth. The deep processes require geophysical tools to detect and study, while at the surface just a camera will do. I go to volcanoes to see the beauty of volcanic regions, and to see for myself how volcanoes work.
Science is a process of observation and discovery.
These photos show some of the sights I've seen while working on volcanoes. They remind me that what I try to describe scientifically with numbers and equations are actual events that happen in the Earth's crust. And they're nice to look at.
