In Focus: 2013 — The Year in Volcanic Activity

This been a particularly eventful year for the world’s volcanoes. Out of an estimated 1,500 active volcanoes, 50 or so erupt every year, spewing steam, ash, toxic gases, and lava.

Old Finnish people with things on their heads. That is all.

(OK, I lied, that is not all. These are part of a funny, gorgeous photo series by Karoline Hjorth and Riitta Ikonen called Eyes As Big As Plates, and you should look at as much of it as you possibly can.)

(Also: hat tip, so to speak, to Mr. Benjamin Birdsall.)

This place is quickly climbing the lottery-winning-unlimited-budget destination list.  Maybe we should have our next annual meeting there and use it as a tax write off.

The nine of us at Multimedia Beast have very different perspectives but on occasion we can come together and make the perfect pair. Here are some of our favorite diptychs from our weekly photo posts.
