Black and white photograph of a landscape that is mostly obstructed by clouds of white smoke. Smoke takes up almost the entirety of the image and blends in with the sky, obstructing the location’s identification. The only visible piece of land is apparent at the bottom right. The land is rough and rocky and appears to be mostly dried lava. In the bottom left corner there is a flow of lava running down out of view. A piece of elevated land can be seen in the distance towards the right side, through gaps in the cloud of smoke.
