Fumarole

Despite the low turnout, however, business was conducted: the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull, which generated by far the most buzz on the show floor, landed a seven-figure deal for a memoir that will cover its early days as a steam-venting fumarole right through to its headline-making eruption. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Sandra had us scramble back to the top for another try though the fumarole passage, but again, when we got into the thick of it, we were practically overcome. ❋ Richard Bangs (2010)

The last eruption was observed in the 1970's, but some fumarole activity still occurs in one of the craters. ❋ Unknown (2008)

There is also a fumarole known as Valley of Desolation (or Grand Soufriere), with fumaroles, hot springs, mud pots, sulfur vents and the Boiling Lake, which is the world's second largest of its kind. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Above about 4,600 m, very few plants are able to survive the severe conditions, although specimens of Helichrysum newii have been recorded as high as 5,760 m (close to a fumarole), and mosses and lichens are found right up to the summit. ❋ Unknown (2009)

After I had breakfasted with Montgomery, he took me across the island to see the fumarole and the source of the hot spring into whose scalding waters I had blundered on the previous day. ❋ Herbert George (2006)

It wasn't until she'd pushed herself across the command deck and gently touched his arm that he pointed down at the massive fumarole below them. ❋ Unknown (2004)

Theoderos Tesfai, an Eritrean geochemist, collects a sample of fumarolic gas at As'ela, a fumarole on Alid's north flank. ❋ Unknown (1998)

I realized then that the outdoor cooker was a natural fumarole, a geological feature that I recalled was common on the northern continent of Seriphos. ❋ May, Julian, 1931- (1998)

Yet so filled with fire and power that she reminded her grandmother of a house built upon a stoppered-up fumarole. ❋ McCullough, Colleen, 1937- (1991)

Anyone less motivated would not have found the ancient fumarole, its volcanic vapors long since spent, for it lay behind a seemingly uninterrupted wall of basalt formed in tall columnar crystals; nose down, Publius Vagiennius sniffed his way around an optical illusion and found a huge chimney. ❋ McCullough, Colleen, 1937- (1990)

So he climbed the fumarole — not without difficulty, but certainly without ever being in real danger of falling. ❋ McCullough, Colleen, 1937- (1990)

The room where volcanoes filled the ashtrays with their fine cinders, and the keyhole itself was a fumarole. ❋ Robbins, Tom (1990)

The fumarole represented no difficulties to the engineer. ❋ McCullough, Colleen, 1937- (1990)

He dined on two snails each day for six days, making one more trip up the fumarole to fetch down the second half dozen. ❋ McCullough, Colleen, 1937- (1990)

Because all of this occurred on the north face of the rugged volcanic outcrop — actually the eroded remnant of the lava plug, for the outer mountain itself had disappeared aeons before — the shelf was permanently wet from seepage, some of which dripped over the rim of the fumarole, but most of which ran down the rocks on the outside at the point where the shelf sloped to form a fissure. ❋ McCullough, Colleen, 1937- (1990)

A dragon raced into the arena, then stopped in the middle of the field to gape its jaws and give a hiss like an erupting fumarole. ❋ May, Julian, 1931- (1981)

Hence the name Solfatara for the fumarole described in Chapter IX. ❋ Ernst Lehrs (N/A)
