ETNA (Sicily) - seen by shuttle Columbia 07/1996 - STS078 - 01/07/1996 Mt. Etna, located in the center of the image, is one of the most active and most studied shield volcanoes in the world. The summit of Mt. Etna is 10991 feet (3350 m) above sea level. Four small craters are located at the summit. Several cinder cones (generally circular - shaped features) are visible at various locations around the flanks of the volcano. The different colored terrain on the flanks of the volcano indicate lava flows that have occurred at different times and have produced a variety of surface roughness on the slopes of the volcano. One of the reasons that Mt. Etna is closely monitored is to provide advance warning of a major eruption to the surrounding towns and villages that are found around the base of the volcano. Notice that there is a small cloud coming from one of the craters in the summit area at the time this photograph was acquired (STS78 - 755 - 039 is a color infrared image of Mt. Etna)

Interior of a Kafir Fort, Upsai. September 1885. View of interior court. Unsharp. 'Central Court, Apsai'. 'The villages Shui, Apsai, and Shidgol resemble forts rather than villages. Their plan is an irregular four-sided figure, the houses being built contiguously round a central court, the only entrance to which is through a large door capable of being sngly closed and secured from the inside in the event of attack. The houses consist of a basement and one, or two, stories above; the outside walls presenting only flat faces of mud and stone, with framework and ties of timber, broken up in the upper rooms by numerous very small windows; inside, overlooking the courtyard, are picturesque wooden verandahs, the rooms opening on to them. The houses are two rooms deep; the rooms facing outwards are very dark, receiving their light only from the little loop-holes, mentioned above, or through the doorway communicating with the other room, which is lighted from the balcony...There is a good dea

A Distressed Seasonal Migrant Worker, works at a salt plant, in Tutcorin, Tamilnadu, India. This type of temporary migration is a growing phenomenon in the dry regions of India. Drought and lack of alternative works in their native villages force families to migrate for three to six months in search of work. About 10 to 30 million people migrate to a range of industrial and agro-industrial sectors such as brick manufacture, salt making, sugar cane harvesting, stone quarrying, and construction. Children accompany their parents. As a result drop-out of school rates go up. July 28, 2007. (photo)

A traditional firewood stove and a kettle, at a hut, in the village of Sinamacia, on Sinamcia lagoon. The Sinamaica lagoon is a large extension of water located northwest of Zulia state, Venezuela. The Sinamacia village inhabited by the ethnic Au Indians is one of the last floating villages on earth. They have been living in the area in houses above water known as palafitos, since pre-colonial times. They use the water body for fishing, transport, and other activities. Wooden canoes or small motor boats are used for transportation. Life in the lagoon is currently threatened by social issues such as severe poverty, water contamination and global warming.

Lusi mud volcano on Java Island - Lusi mud flow seen from space - The Lusi mud volcano (Sidoarjo) erupted in May 2006 and its flows continue to expand. Comparison of two satellite photos taken on August 24, 2004, on the left, and on November 11, 2008, on the right. On these false-coloured images obtained by the Terra satellite, the vegetation appears in red, the mud of the volcano in grey. On May 29, 2006, a mud volcano began erupting in a densely populated area in eastern Java, Indonesia. In the months that followed, the Sidoarjo mud flow (also known as the Lapindo mud flow, or Lusi) showed no signs of slowing, and mitigation efforts such as dropping chains of concrete balls down the crater proved ineffective. By June 2008, the massive mud lake spawned by this eruption had smothered a dozen villages and displaced some 30,000 residents. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on Nasa's Terra satellite acquired these images on November 11, 2008, (right

Arugam Bay consists of three small villages where fishing and farming are the main occupations. The island lies on the Indian Ocean, 220 kilometers due east of Colombo, Sri Lanka. The island was devastated in the 2004 tsunami. Many organizations supported the fishing folks by donating plenty of fishing boats, nets and fishing gears. We do not get much fish as we had earlier. Perhaps, the tsunami has done something to the sea and the fishes are gone. Others say- After the tsunami foreigners gave boats and nets to many people so a large number of people are fishing now, as a result number of catch has dropped. Arugam Bay, Sri Lanka. February 2008.
