Summary: Get up close and personal with some of the world's most dangerous volcanoes through the eyes of volcano researcher Donna O'Meara. The author describes some of the world's most dangerous volcanoes and the work she does as a volcano researcher. In a helicopter with no doors, she hovers over a lava lake the size of two football fields, then lands! She runs through clouds of scalding steam, dodging lava bombs, to photograph glowing hot lava as it pours into the sea. She sets up camp on the edge of a volcano's cone, only to be hit with hurricane-force winds, poisonous gases and acidic ash. Witness a typical day in the life of Donna O'Meara, volcano researcher, writer and photographer. Donna's photographs and accounts of treacherous journeys get readers up close and personal with some of the world's most dangerous volcanoes.-- Source other than the Library of Congress.
