This dramatic scene was viewed by travellers in the Galapagos Islands last week. It was La Cumbre Volcano on the the western side of Fernandina Island, the youngest of the Galapagos Islands.  The volcano started becoming active on 11th April. Columns of smoke can be seen from miles away, and streams of lava reach down to the sea.

This photo was taken by passengers on the Galapagos Explorer II yacht.

Other yachts which include Fernandina in their itineraries can be found here.
