etnaboris' photostream
|
This collection of photos (and occasionally movies) will let you participate in the dynamic life of Sicily's volcanoes and the life of a volcanologist who is part of a team keeping an eye on those volcanoes with the aim of understanding what the hell makes them do what they do.
Born in Germany but fascinated since childhood by volcanoes, I eventually moved to Catania, Sicily, to live and work close to one of the Earth's most active and intriguing volcanoes: Mount Etna. Following my college studies and PhD in geology, I obtained a contract with the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology), Sezione di Catania, and now work full time as a volcanologist on this fascinating and beautiful volcano. By the way, I am now responsible for the updates and general volcano information on the institute's web site!
I am with a beautiful woman, Catherine, who moved from France to Catania (she says for Etna, not for me :<D), and we have a marvellous little daughter, Ida, who is the most wonderful thing in my life.

╬Thomas Reichart ╬ says:
"Boris is an absolute - or even the - expert of Mt. Etna. He presents a lot of very informative and challenging pictures, about what is happening at this outstanding volcano. He has become (next to several live web-cams and on-line seismometers) my primière source of actual information, thanks a lot to him! Outstanding as well, is his ability to teach and present information, so even becoming "experts", like me, understand quite well what he is explaining! I really hope I will meet him sometime when we both follow our passion on Mt. Etna."
