Bazman volcano in Iran is featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 38 crew member aboard the ISS on January 5, 2014. Bazman volcano is located in a remote southern region within the Bazman Protected Area of Sistan and Baluchestan Provinces.

While the volcano has the classic cone shape associated with stratovolcanoes, it is also heavily dissected by channels that extend downwards from the 3,490-meter-above-sea-level summit. This radial drainage pattern - looking similar to the spokes of a bicycle wheel - is readily observed in this photograph.

Such patterns can form around high, symmetric peaks when water runoff and erosion is not constrained by the resistance of geologic materials or barriers to flow, leading to essentially even distribution of water runoff channels around the central peak. (NASA)

Islands of the Four Mountains are featured in this image photographed by an Expedition 38 crew member on the ISS on November 15, 2013.

Morning sunlight illuminates the southeast-facing slopes of the islands in the photograph. The islands, part of the Aleutian Island chain, are actually the upper slopes of volcanoes rising from the sea floor; Carlisle, Cleveland, Herbert, and Tana. (NASA)

A trip to the clouds – Salta, Argentina – HAVANA CLUB GAP YEAR

I’m going to begin this blog entry telling you that I was born in Bogotá, Colombia; 2.600 meters above sea level, on the Andes mountain range. I had never realized how lucky I am. I was born in one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world. It crosses the whole South America and in some way, keep us linked together.

But know, I’ve seen the Andes of Chile and Argentina; I would say that people must visit The Andes, at least once in their lives.

Here a few of my blog entries on The Andes in Chile:

 This time I’m in Argentina, I tried to take the ‘Tren de las Nubes/Train of the Clouds’, but it was not working the weekend I was going to book it, so I had to take a tour that goes along the same way the train goes; it was really stunning, I was happy I even had the option to see some of the amazing views you get when you are on the train, but I guess it’s not the same; anyway, I really enjoyed it. The agency I used for this tour is http://www.movitrack.com.ar It was a nice tour, although I heard there are cheaper options. I picked it, because they have this great truck where you can take pictures from the roof, which made it interesting for my pictures.

I’m Julian Medina and I feel really proud of being born in The Andes; this is my trip to the clouds…
