Faraglioni di Lipari, Italy, 6.05.2015

Faraglioni di Lipari are two volcanic spines (called Pietra Lunga and Pietra Menalda) located between Lipari and Vulcano islands (Aeolian archipelago). It was great pleasure to see such isolated rocky islets - remains of ancient volcanism.

Lipari Island, Italy, 6.05.2015

Lipari Island is the largest volcanic island of the Eolian Archipelago and it features small stratovolcanoes, lava domes, obsidian lava flows and large deposits of pumice and obsidian. The last eruption on Lipari occured probably in 729 AD from Monte Pilatus. It's also legendary refuge of Aeolus, the god of the winds. I particularly enjoyed narrow alleys of Lipari, azure color of Tyrrhenian Sea and beautiful coastal cliffs of Lipari.

Meteorite craters of Morasko Nature Reserve, 14.04.2015

I am sad that I live in the country (Poland) without any active and dormant volcanoes. I am even more sad that I don't have enough money to see as many volcanoes as I can. Although I am planning my next volcanic trip soon first I will post some photos from Morasko Meteorite Nature Reserve as this is the most interesting geological wonder in my current home town. It contains seven meteor craters - three of them contain lakes & small pools. The largest of the seven craters has a diameter of about 100 metres and is about 11 metres deep. The impact happened about 5000 years ago. Very beautiful place to walk and admire.
