Hell valley on Earth

Hell valley on Earth

Check out these stunning photos of the active volcanic complex in Tolbachik. The Tolbachik complex is one of many active volcanoes in the Kamchatka area of eastern Russia. These pictures remind me of Mount Doom from Lord of the Rings. A year ago the Tolbachik was covered in lava fountains and rivers of fire decorated the landscape, however now the Tolbachik has calmed down. These breath taking photos come from none other than photographers Luda and Andrey, who risked their own lives to bring the world these stunning images of the so called 'Hell valley on Earth'.

The Volcano erupted back in 2012, but it had previously been dormant for 36 years.

In this photo the lava flows from the Tolbachik and spreads through the surrounding areas in east Russia.

This photo shows a crack, shows the image of looking into hell or at least a extremely hot bath.

Underneath a bright full moan, the lava from the spewing volcano spills into a river of molten rock below creating this spectacular photograph.

Tolbachik has been an active volcano for thousands of years, but the most remarkable eruption was the Great Tolbachik Fissure Eruption of 1975. The Great  Tolbachik eruption of 1975 was the biggest outpouring of volcanic rock the world had ever seen since the Laki eruption in 1783.
