First Rays on the Volcano - By: Babak A. Tafreshi
The morning twilight and the Earth shadow over Licancabur, an iconic volcano at the border of Chile and Bolivia reaching 5920 meters high. An icy forest of penitentes cluster in the foreground. The penitentes are a curious natural phenomenon found in high-altitude regions. They are thin spikes of hardened snow or ice, with sharp edges pointing towards the Sun, reaching heights from a few centimeters up to several meters.
