The south summit of Volcán...

The south summit of Volcán Martín. Colours are incredible; together with the blue sky and the little green Canarian Pine you find all colours of the rainbow here. Feb 25th 2005

Riot

is the right word :-) I was really amazed about these colours. On the other hand it was quite stormy and cold - I guess you can see (or imagine) Judith's expression from her body language. She works in Stockholm and fancied that La Palma would be warmer by far! Well, it was warmer - but not warm ;-)

Oxidation?

I think I remember reading something about it somewhere. The fact is that all the craters are extremely colourful while the lower parts of the volcanoes are black.
