Photographer’s Note

This is the slope of the crater of Vulcano, one of the active volcanos in Italy, in the island of Vulcano, Sicily. It is an active explosive volcano, whose crater is surrounded by many sulphur jets and fumaroles on the surface and underwater
The last big eruption was in 1890, but its activity never stopped.
From the edge of the crater you can see the many layers of colored minerals. A window inside the earth.
