At the moment (Jan 2016), Colima is again in a particularly active state. A new intense phase of explosions, often with spectacular eruption lightning has started and could be a precursor to a new phase of lava dome growth.
We therefore offer a new "Volcano Special" from 15-19 February 2016, with the best moonlight conditions for photography!
This expedition invites you to join us to observe the volcano during 4 full days from various viewpoints day and night, in a comfortable setting - we will be staying the whole time in the lush forested area at the slopes of the volcano only about 7 km from the summit with stunning views already from our accommodation.
Insights into geologic and volcanological processes, explanations of outcrops and volcanic land forms, but also tips for volcano photography are provided by the accompanying volcanologist (Tom Pfeiffer).

Reiseleitung:
Normalerweise begeleitet Dr. Tom Pfeiffer diese Reise. Tom Pfeiffer bereist und dokumentiert aktive Vulkanismus seit mehr als 20 Jahren.Sein wissenschaftlicher Hintergrund ist seine Doktorarbeit über den Vulkanismus der Insel Santorin in Griechenland. Dort hat er auch den verkohlten Olivenbaum in den Bimsschichten der minoischen Vulkaneruption entdeckt, der über die C14-Methode die genaue Datierung der Santorin-Eruption 1627 v.Chr. ermöglichte. In seiner Doktorarbeit bezieht er sich auch auf den Vulkan Vesuv. Er hat schon auf Hawai`i am Vesuv in den Vulkanobservatorien gearbeitet, bevor er 2004 VolcanoDiscovery gründete und als VolcanoAdventures 2014 neu entwickelte. Er spricht Deutsch, Englisch, Französisch, Dänisch, Griechisch und Italienisch.
