Photo of the Day (3.30.10)

This stunning Photo of the Day comes from the heights of Chile’s Vulcão Villarica, in the city of Pucón. Villarrica is one of Chile’s most active volcanoes – and at 9,340ft, is classified as a stratovolcano. Hikers that dare to summit in the summer months can peer into the volcano crater’s active lava lake – a rarity since Villarrica is one of only four volcanos in the world that has an active lava lake.
