SCIENCE AS ART
Erupting volcano on the ocean
Kaiyang Yin, Dartmouth College, USA
Inspired by “The Great Wave off Kanagawa,” the iconic print by Hokusai, the active volcano on the ocean is erupting. The image is created by cryo-scanning electron microscope imaging of textured ice surface. Deposition of water vapor into ice was observed in situ at the ice tip and formed the lava.
