A study in texture, color, and form, this image speaks of the volcanic activity that shaped these islands. These volcanoes are still active -- in the last 200 years, there have been eight different eruptions. The islands were formed more than twenty million years ago, and millions of years from now, they will return to the depths of the ocean. This image, with its repetitive flows and shapes, garnished by living plants, offers the textures and colors of such ancient forces at work.
