Herzlichen Dank, Maik! Leider ist der Zuckerguss nur noch auf dieser Seite, im Norden ist er schon abgeschmolzen.

Riesige Scharfentiefe und ein echter "Designerberg"

Gudrun ^club has replied to LutzP ^club

Großen Dank, Lutz! Ja, der ist so ein klassischer Stratovulkan, dem es noch nicht das Dach weggesprengt hat;-) Die Schärfentiefe war auch ein bisschen Glück, ich kann nicht behaupten, dass ich das immer richtig hinbekomme.

What a classically shaped volcano. Those wetlands are fascinating in what I'd have imagined was mainly desert.

9 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to tiabunna ^club

Many thanks, George! It's a "youthful" volcano, there's another behind which has already lost its top;-) Most bofedales are fed by meltwater and rain which means that with clinate change the desert will take over:-(
