Hornito

Hornito
A Hornito (literally: little oven) is a small turret shaped spattering/ degassing vent that develops in effusive eruptions. Hornitos are rootless, meaning they aren't fed from deep sources but from hot lava running in tubes not far from the surface. When pressure in the tubes gets too high the lava and gases break out in such vents.

By the melting patterns in the 1st note and the volcanic glass in the 2nd you can see how hot and fluid the lava must have been.

Ich auch! Mein vater ist mal von einer gestochen worden, das hat sogar beim einstich geblutet. Und anschliessend ist die stelle ganz dick aufgeschwollen und hat sich lilarotblau verfärbt!!

Ich sehe einige Gesichter im ersten PiP, Gudrun!
Schönes Wochenende wünsche ich dir noch. Hier in Mülheim regnet es gerade ganz kräftig, aber es ist wohl kein Dauerregen.

Gudrun club has replied to Ruesterstaude club
Besten Dank, Volker! Mich hat das erste PiP an eine Tropfkerze erinnert;-)
Hier hat es fast die ganze Woche geregnet, es war aber auch nötig!

These 'growths' look almost organic, Gudrun. Probably because mosses and lichens are present.

Gudrun club has replied to Amelia club
Thanks very much, Amelia! Indeed, also they look a bit like stalactites or like wax from drip candles that were in fashion decades ago;-)

A fascinating series Gudrun, each image is a super mini-landscape in its own right. I like the informative narrative and links as well. The details you've captured in these shots is amazing............the shapes and formations almost allow you to look back in time. I love the colour palette in each image as well.

I've had a quick look at the links and bookmarked them for further reading later.

Thanks a lot, Keith! Iron-oxide. lichen and mosses make for nice colours and with the shapes you can nearly see the fluid lava dripping;-)

erstarrte Lava ist interessant für Fotografen und bietet Farbe, Formen, Flechten Moose und Pflanzen, die sich darauf ansiedeln

Herzlichen Dank, Reiner! Es dauert lange, bis sich etwas ansiedelt und man staunt, dass unter den unwirtlichen Bedingungen überhaupt etwas wächst.
