Enter the realm of Pele, goddess of fire: mountainsides ablaze; molten lakes that glow in the twilight; pillars of acid-laden steam rising from the boiling sea where the lava flow hits the ocean. Make your journey into this unpredictable territory in the company of two guides whose combined knowledge is incomparable. Internationally renowned volcano photographer G. Brad Lewis offers a sublime glimpse into the heart of creation. His photographs are accompanied by volcanologist and educator Jim Kauahikaua’s unique knowledge of science and Hawaiian myth.

This review is from: Volcano: Creation in Motion (Hardcover)

The pictures are amazing, but the description for each picture is at the back of the book. This means a lot of back and forth flipping of pages. Would much prefer the description with the pictures.
