Known & Little-known Volcanoes of the Massif Central

Více o knize

The volcanism of the Massif Central has its high points, from Puy de Dôme to Gerbier de Jonc, including famous crater lakes like Pavin and basaltic cliffs such as those that overlook the ancient city of Saint-Flour. In addition to these must-see sites, this book will reveal unsuspected curiosities, such as the "ice fountains" or the underground lake hidden in Creux de Soucy. You will learn that Ardèche has some of the youngest volcanoes in the country and that telluric fires have erupted far to the south, in Languedoc, and even to the Mediterranean in the Agde region. Volcanism is approached here in its entirety and presented as rarely seen, from its prestigious summits to its most secret manifestations.
