A tremendous shot of Matt along the crater rim of the volcano!!   You get a good look at standard mountaineering equipment like an ice axe, gaiters (leg coverings), plastic boots, shell jacket, mountaineering pack and hydration system (the tube running out of the pack).  You can also see the thick pack of snow lining the crater, known as a "cornice".  By the way, the clouds are approximately 2,500 feet below!   Photo by Doug Pierson June 23, 2001 Close Window
