PROJECT 100 VOLCANOES - TABLE 1 (main) at the end of 2017

: 30-01-18 15:12

Eruptions of the Stromboli volcano (Italy).

12 years of the 100 VOLCANOES PROJECT behind me. It required great determination and great consequence. There were great moments, but also extremely dangerous moments. To show the current achievements of the project, I start from the MAIN TABLE. Under the table, a portion of pictures from 2017. After so many years there are several hundred thousand of them. Ahead of me another dozen years of volcanic exploration.

Table 1 - List of explored volcanoes

	As at December 31, 2017

¹ – heights given are often according to the indications GPS, rather than encyclopaedic informations;
² – the project includes volcanoes climbed and explored only since 2006 - the beginning of the Project 100 Volcanoes. Although some volcanoes, such as Mount Elbrus, were reached prior to the start of the project. In this case, I had to get it again to include the project;
³ – according to commonly accepted The International Geographical Union (is an international geographical society) - Caucasus Mountains are in Asia (boundary line was designated by the Kuma-Manych Depression);
⁴ – exploration of all summit craters of Etna (Central Crater 3314m (Bocca Nuova and Voragine), South-East Crater 3300m, North-East Crater 3331m, New South East Crater 3300m) and dozens of others cones/craters 2935-1500m (e.g. Monte del Frumento Supino and Barbagallo, M. Silvestri Superiore, La Montagnola, Cisternazza, on the line: Osservatorio Etneo - Grotta del Gelo, Monte Spagnolo);
⁵ – AmSO – South America;
⁶ – Pinatubo volcano reaches up to 1486m height, water level of the crater lake is about 908m;
⁷ – Ijen volcano reaches a height 2799m;
⁸ – Toba Lake and Samosir Island;
⁹ – Reykjanes is a large slotted volcano, exploration in several places;
¹⁰ – AmNO - North America;
¹¹ – Highest point of the Yellowstone Caldera is 2805m;
¹² – Ol Doinyo Lengai - the only active volcano in the world which produces natrocarbonatite lava.
¹³ –12 hours in the summit area of Stromboli, day and night;
