One of the most gorgeous images from National Geographic ’s late photography competition is this one , of a boiling lake under cloudy sky . It seem like what I conceive of the methane lakes might look like on Titan . Taken by Ben Hattenbach , this pool of intensely ( and by nature ) blue piddle is a geothermic oasis in an arctic desert in Hveravellir , in the Kjolur region of central Iceland . One of the other winners manage to capture an range of a function of boiling rock arcing through the air .
Bob Douglas took this in Hawaii , at the PuuO`o vent on the Kilauea Volcano , where lava meet water . Here you’re able to see lava being hurl into the line , and as it hits the ocean it sends up those vivid , thick clouds of steam in the background . you may see more of gain exposure at the National Geographic web site , and download special - large size for your desktop .
