Tables of PROJECT 100 VOLCANOES - English version - Gregory Gawlik

The 100 VOLCANOES PROJECT is realized since 2006 and aims to explore the 100 volcanoes, of which half of them must be active.
Volcanoes are precisely tailored, difficult to access and very interesting in terms of exploratory and scientific. Often wild, most active, the highest.

Project 100 volcanoes is unique on a global scale. The current state of the project: 52 volcanoes, including 33 active and 97 other volcanic places (for example: less important volcanoes, volcanic: deserts, caves, rock formations, geothermal fields, geysers, lava fields).

Until now the project was realized in several dozen countries on six continents. I realize the project alone.

Many successes have international significance. Including first achievements in history. New discoveries. About some I wrote here: Sporting, exploration and scientific successes of EXPEDITION.

The achievement of the project are located in two tables, primary and subsidiary - BELOW.

Short note about the author of the project - Gregory Gawlik

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 three summit craters of Etna (Central Crater (Bocca Nuova and Voragine), South-East Crater, North-East Crater) and numerous parasitic cones (craters);
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.
