Steam pours out of Ambrym volcano.
One of my favorite things about being a photographer is finding a picture on the way to shooting another one. In this case I was flying to shoot a lake in Ambae, a volcano north of Ambrym. The sun had just come up when we crossed the island and this almost accidental photograph is the result. In fact I wasn't even looking for the photograph today, I just stumbled upon it once again while searching my RAW file data base for another image.
It is a good thing that I shot this situation as Ambae was socked in with clouds and I didn't get a single good frame.
