Ansel Adams earned a modest living as a stage performer in the Ahwahnee Hotel in the late 1920s before he became famous for his photography. Ansel was a man of many talents although I am grateful that he found his true calling - photography. His photos of the natural beauty of the West served to garner public support for the preservation of such areas within the National Parks system.

The ground gave way in a horrendous eruptive explosion. Molten lava and huge fragments of rock were hurled upwards. Rocks up to 20 meters across were thrown into the air. Globs of lava and glowing ash littered the countryside, falling in thick layers that welded together as they reached the ground, covering an area of over 600 square kilometers. Sticky, viscous, masses of rhyolite lava oozed up from the magma chamber below, finding its way through vents to the surface, where it squeezed up, toothpaste-like, to form bulbous plugs and domes in and near the caldera rim. The fiery breath of this enormous eruption exterminated life from horizon to horizon 17.5 million years ago.
