On the slopes of Taal's alien landscape

by Richard Ybanez, University of the Philippines, Quezon City, Philippines

Taken one year after the 2020 Taal Eruption, this image features scientists on Taal Volcano Island on the slope leading up to the Main Crater Lake. Scientists can be seen in the distance, emphasizing the scale of the surreal landscape that has developed after one year of erosion on the volcanic island.
