2012: The Year in Volcanic Activity-超级军网

Out of an estimated 1,500 active volcanoes around the world, 50 or so erupt every year, spewing steam, ash, toxic gases, and lava. In 2012, active volcanoes included Guatemala's Volcan de Fuego, New Zealand's Tongariro, Russia's Plosky Tolbachik, Chile's Puyehue, Italy's Etna, and a new island appearing in the Red Sea. In Hawaii, Kilauea continues to send lava flowing toward the sea, and locals living near Mexico's Popocatepetl continued to deal with ashfalls. Collected below are scenes from the wide variety of volcanic activity on Earth over the past year.[39 photos]

On March 11, 2012, photographer Andrew Hall captured this fantastic image of Santiaguito, an active lava dome on Guatemala's Santa María Volcano. Hall: "In the middle of the night, restless in my tent after hiking to the top of Volcan Santa Maria with Quetzaltrekkers, I trudged over to the other side of the summit, wrapped myself in my sleeping bag to fight off the chill at 12,000 feet, and watched alone as Volcan Santiaguito erupted again and again over the hours leading up to sunrise. The town of Retalhuleu, just beginning to awake, lies roughly 15 mi beyond." (© Andrew Hall)

Nicaragua's tallest volcano belched an ash plume up to 2 1/2 miles (4 km) into the atmosphere, prompting the evacuation of hundreds of nearby residents who heard eruptions emanating from its crater.

Big clouds of ash and steam are spewed from the Popocatepetl Volcano as seen from the Santiago Xalitxintla, in the Mexican central state of Puebla, on April 25, 2012. Residents at the foot of Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano no longer sleep soundly since the towering mountain roared back into action, spewing out a hail of rocks, steam and ash. The volcano, Mexico's second highest peak at 5,452 meters, started rumbling and spurting high clouds of ash and steam on April 13, provoking the authorities to raise the alert to level five on a seven-point scale.

你这图哪弄的啊

你这图哪弄的啊
大西洋月刊，我浏览的基本都是外国的网站，尽是超清无水印大图，国内鲜有佳作，还戳上各式各样的印记

震撼的自然奇观~~~

楼猪，请不要用方言，我看不懂。你不要卖弄自己会几句方言，就以为自己也是方言人了。

如果有国内有这样的作品，这样解析度的图，相应的注解，我用得着上外文网站上薅图吗？你以为我贴外文心里好受，得意，显摆吗？

不错不错
