Earth’s Lava-Spewing Volcanoes, Calving Glaciers, and Other Worlds of Fire and Ice

Volcanic eruptions, just as the melting of ice shelves and glaciers, signify changes in Earth’s life cycle—some make headlines while others remain unseen by human eyes…yet our planet ages on. “A stable earth, whatever we would like to think, is an illusion," says Santa Fe–based photographer Joan Myers, who embarked on a tour of the planet’s contrasting formations, from Hawaii’s fiery Kilauea Volcano to the steaming, snow-covered Mount Erebus in Antarctica to Oregon’s pollen-covered Crater Lake.

Her latest photo portfolio, Joan Myers: Fire and Ice, Timescapes (Damiani), juxtaposes these contrasting backdrops, of volcanic zones and desolate ice worlds found at the far reaches of the earth. Read on for her photographic portfolio of Earth’s polarized, shape-shifting landscapes.
