Antarctica - picture 19




Clouds break like surf against the glacial shores of the active volcano. The crater below the helicopter is covered with ice.
At another location close to the base of the mountain, a seismometer station was installed shortly after the observation flight. This earthquake recording instrument will collect precious data from the otherwise very sparsely examined and unknown area. Another expedition might collect the instrument in a few years time and recover the data.
