Mystery Volcano Photo #8

The last MVP was decidely (and unintentionally) way too easy ... but congratulations to gg for getting it on the first guess. To make up for that "gimme", here is a bit more of a puzzler.

Erebrus or Veniaminof? It has to be someone cold like Antartica or Alaska,maybe Russia.

I go with BIG V = Veniaminof

That's possible as well. I don't know a lot about the volcanoes of Iceland.

It doesn't have flowers, so I'm out.

My guess is Eyjafjöll in Iceland. Not much to go on in that picture and it's hard to distinguish these snow covered volcanoes.

Eyjafjallajökull, Iceland ;-)

How in the world do you even pronouce any of those names? lol.

Hmmmm. Not much to go on here. Cold, flat from this point of view. Perhaps a shot taken inside the caldera at Okmok?

(Wild Guess!)

Krafla I think.

Wrangell

Well, since no one has claimed Ranier, I'll say it's a high elevation photo of it....

grief, this could be anywhere. What about the North crater of Tongariro?

My guess is Ebeko volcano in Kamchatka. Or meiby Gorely? The nature looks like Kamchatka to me. But it could be in Alaska or Iceland.

The winner here was back at #6, with Eyjafjöll (or Eyjafjallajökull), so congratulations to the Bobs. More on this volcano later today!

I think this looks a little like Mount Douglas in Alaska.
