German photographer Martin Rietze travels around the world every year to capture the most stunning, breathtaking places on Earth, from the peaks of the Swiss Alps to the deserts of Namibia.

Rietze's specialty lies in photographing volcanoes, especially those about to erupt or actively erupting. He has (literally) written the book on the subject -- he's the author of a German volume on what he calls "extreme photography," which detail how to photograph natural phenomena, and has also published a pair of books on the geological background of volcanoes.
