Adrian Rohnfelder — a German landscape, travel and adventure photographer — is the first photographer ever to climb the highest seven volcanoes on each of the seven continents.
The aim of Volcanic 7 Summits: Dreams of the Unknown was not the climb to reach each peak, but the photographic achievements taken from each summit.
The result is a book that portrays the beauty of mountains, power of volcanoes and the true versatility of our planet.
