Our first feature is the image of the Etna eruption. As of September 10, the eruption is continuing with a new effusive site opening. The lava flows are near the summit and aren't threatening any structures or villages. Click the picture to see it full-size.
For more, click the article link at top and choose "Septembre 2004" at left.
Our second feature is at the link below; six QTVR panoramas of the just-ended Piton de la Fournaise eruption. Stunning! If you have the bandwidth to handle it, look at the big ones. The aerial view is mind-boggling (though grainy in the big version, the smaller one is probably better in this case) and the beachfront "Nouvelle terre" is almost as good as being there (with the exception of the heat, steam, sulfurous gases, surf, burning palm trees... well, visually it's as almost as good as being there).

I think that's the biggest horta I've ever seen.
I don't know what you mean by horta. (Hornito?)
