🌋 Volcanic Craters of the World

These are notable volcanic craters — the circular hollows at the mouth of a volcano, blasted or collapsed by eruption, some now holding a lake of acid or meltwater and others fuming with sulphur, from the summit pits of Vesuvius and Etna and the crater lakes of Ruapehu to the vast collapsed calderas of Tambora and Santorini. Each profile shows where the crater stands, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
