19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Phoenix

It was my last day at the volcano and after five days the lava overflowed and broke the "walls" of the river, arriving all the way till the bottom of the mountain where I was. Now this viewpoint isn't accessible anymore since the lava surrounded that hill. I definitely can call myself lucky for being able to stand there and get this view!
