Between a Rock and a Hot Place

Perched on a tee of shaded ice, a boulder temporarily rests on Mutnovsky volcano’s melting, debris-encrusted glacier. Explorer Franck Tessier scaled the red rock for a better view of one of the mountain’s craters as it steamed toxic fumes into the sky (background). With author Jeremy Schmidt and photographer Carsten Peter, Tessier spent a month probing both the fire and ice of Russia’s geothermal hot spot, Kamchatka Peninsula.
