Volcanic Landscapes
I dedicate this blog to volcanoes and lovely volcanic landscapes. I am not a geologist/volcanologist, just a person who enjoys beautifully rough and majestic volcanic scenery. The feeling of being in such an unpredictable and often dangerous area is certainly distinct and unforgettable. All photos by Bart.K

First photos of Etna volcano, 07.09.2020
The travelling during Covid19 (coronavirus Sars-Cov-2) is quite risky and unpredictable, but still worth even self-imposed quarantine after coming back. So on 6th September of 2020 three people (me and two of my friends) travelled by plane from Katowice to Catania. We wanted to explore north side of Etna volcano including central craters. Here are the first pictures of Etna volcano and its lava flows taken near Rifugio Citelli on 07.09.2020.
