Trail Reviews
The path along the chain of volcanoes was magnificent, a fascinating interplay of lush greenery and a lunar-like desert. No particular ascents or descents, but the combination of damp fog, drizzle and loose ground required attention. The strange cottage in the photo is a former whale lookout. Staffed daily until the 1980s and informed the whale hunters of sightings by means of flares. The latest craters from the eruption, which lasted over 1 year from 1957 to 1958, have already been swallowed up by the sea again.
