Today we took a hydrofoil to our final island tour, the volcanic island. We hiked to the top of a crater that had exploded a thousand years and continues to simmer. The climb up was a chore--loose rock the the size of sand, then a mixture of clay and rock as we worked through the layers left by the volcanic eruption. However, it was well worth it! Pictured are the crater and steaming pots of sulfer, some over 400 degrees.
