A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet’s surface or crust, which allows hot magma, volcanic ash and gases to escape from below the surface. The most common perception of a volcano is of a conical mountain, spewing lava and poisonous gases from a crater at its summit.
Volcanoes are one of the most dangerous things created by nature. Volcanoes, known to be the worst disasters put by nature. It isn’t that easy to capture those disaster moments. But there are few photographers who did love to do that. We just tried to gather 30 best of such photographs.
