In this 1904 study, American geologist and explorer Angelo Heilprin (1853–1907) documents the temporary formation of a 'tower' of lava that resulted from the devastating eruptions of Mount Pelée in 1902. This account of his third visit to Martinique is complemented by unique photographs depicting volcanic activity and its aftermath.
