Busy Monday with Dr. Steven Squyres, the Principle Investigator of the Mars Exploration Rover Mission (MER; otherwise known as the plucky Spirit and Opportunity) is at Denison to give a talk and meet with students.
On that note, here is Mystery Volcano Photo #9.
And if you have any more questions for me to consider to ask Dr. Jonathan Castro, email them to me soon at
Good luck!

Looks like Nyiragongo to me since i'm in africa I might try to claim this one
Galeras?
Thought I'd finally gotten one, but Gerhardus has probably beaten me to it. I'm not in Africa, but came across Nyiragongo while looking online for information recently on lava lakes. This surely does look like it.
San Cristobal
Nyiragongo
Looks like Semeru to me.......
Should be San Miguel (aka Chaparrastique) in El Salvador ... I remember as a child I had a book with a black-and-white photograph showing approximately the same view.
It is San Miguel, I just found the exact picture in the internet.
Looks like someone else already got this one. M guess would have been Semeru as well.
Raung?
lengai ?
This is Chaparrastique.
The answer here was San Miguel in El Salvador ... Boris gets the point for this round. I'll have more on San Miguel and the updated standings later today.
