A nice part of Earth (in Canada). A flattish (glacially eroded) small island of granite sits on a still lake reflecting a blue sky dotted with clouds. Two people stand at either end, fishing.

It’s Earth Day, and some of us have spent not just our careers but our whole lives loving + studying the Earth. It is not an easy time.

Two years ago today was one of the most thrilling moments of my life when I captured this sunrise eruption of Guatemala's VolcΓ‘n de Fuego. My drone was much closer than I realized, and the eruption was the largest I saw in my two days up there. I may never again film something as remarkable as this:

This was the lava lake in February 2024. We are studying the collapse with @INETER colleagues.

Santiago crater, Masaya caldera, Nicaragua. On March 2, 2024, the south crater wall collapsed (debris cone lower right) burying the lava lake. The shallow magma degassed through two small vents (right center & lower left).
