Description

Raoul Island, the northernmost of the Kermadec Islands, is an active volcano which last erupted in 2006. This watercolour of part of the caldera was painted by J. Glen Wilson in 1854, when HMS Herald visited the island. Blue Lake (foreground) fills an explosion crater. The small cone on the right side of the lake was erupted about 1650 AD. It was later partly destroyed by an explosive eruption in 1879
