EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare geological specimen known as Kenyte lava C016 / 6204. Collected during Scott's British Antarctic Expedition (1910-1913), also referred to as the Terra Nova expedition, this unique volcanic rock originates from both Kenya and Antarctica. The specific sample featured in this image was formed during eruptions of the majestic Mount Erebus volcano located in Antarctica. The photograph captures the essence of this extraordinary piece against a pristine white background, allowing its intricate details to shine through. With its smooth texture and vibrant colors, it is evident that this igneous rock has endured intense heat and pressure over time. Dating back to the early 20th century, this remarkable cut-out exemplifies the field of volcanology or vulcanology. Its extrusive nature suggests that it was forcefully expelled from beneath Earth's surface during volcanic activity. Displayed by the Natural History Museum in London, this print serves as a testament to scientific exploration and discovery. It not only highlights the beauty found within our planet but also emphasizes how geological specimens can provide valuable insights into Earth's history and processes.
