Damavand?
South Sister, Oregon?
Mt. Griggs in Alaska.
Don's got it. It's gotta be Griggs in summer.
Boo. Too easy if it was gotten that fast.
I was thinking more along the lines of Lonquimay or some other South American high desert volcano. BTW: Great site, I just found it a couple of weeks ago.
It is indeed Mount Giggs. I found the same exact picture myslef.
I downloaded the photo so I could zoom in and see a bit more detail. Heh heh......the Exif data for the pic clearly describes the image as "An aerial view of Mt. Griggs at the edge of the Valley of 100000 Smokes....."
Definitely an "oopsie" there, Dr. Klemetti. ;-)
Oops, I put in one too many zeroes. The Exif description does say "10000".
:-)
Y'all are getting too smart for me. I actually wondered about metadata on this image when I posted it, pondering if someone could use that to figure out images in general. Apparently so! I have my work cut out for me for the next MVP.
And yes, it is Mt. Griggs in Alaska, congrats to Don Crain ... who now becomes the first to score more than 1 point in the MVP standings!
For what it's worth, I was able to identify the volcano without referring to the metadata. :-) The thick blanket of beige rhyolite ash on the lower slopes from the 1912 eruption of Novarupta is a dead giveaway.
I'm still learning from you, as I'm trying to reach my goals. I definitely liked reading all that is written on your website.Keep the information coming. I liked it
So I tried subscribing to your RSS .xml, and it kicked back a "Malformed XML" error... Can you tell me if it's just me or the site?
