Ubehebe Crater (Death Valley, California)
This Ferris H. Scott card S-43079L2-4 was mailed in 1971 and is in terrific condition for its age. The stamp is there and the postmark is fully legible. Grade: 1

Code: 35800001
Price: $2.50
Pahoehoe lava, Volcanoes Nat. Park (Hawaii)
Unused card from early 2000s, showing Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, and we have a warm spot for it (no pun intended) because it was printed in Hong Kong. Grade: 1

Code: 35800002
Price: $1.50
Oahu, Koko Crater (Hawaii)
As of the 1960s, this Koko Crater cone represented the “most recent volcanic activity on the Island of Oahu,” some 5000 years ago. Unused Nani Li’i card S-214. Grade: 1

Code: 35800003
Price: $2.00
Kilauea Iki (Hawaii)
Kilauea Iki volcano is in Hawaii National Park and the caption on reverse breathlessly announces that when it came back to life on November 14th, 1959, after 100 years of inactivity, “her fiery lava fountain towered 1900 feet! Five hundred feet higher than the Empire State Building!” Nani Li’i card S-175, unused, and definitely after November 14th, 1959! Grade: 1

Code: 35800004
Price: $2.00
Kilauea Iki eruption (Hawaii)
Unused Nani Li’i card S-180 with the same caption as the previous card of Kilauea Iki. We could Google to see if this volcano has erupted since 1959, but we would rather use the time entering more cards. Grade: 1

Code: 35800005
Price: $3.00
Haleakala Crater (Maui, Hawaii)
Unused Nani Li’i card S-54 tells us this “vast pit in Hawaii National Park on Maui (Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa in distance) is 21 miles around the rim.” We’ve not yet walked it to find out. Grade: 1

Code: 35800006
Price: $1.50
Lassen Volcanic National Park
Mailed in 1994, and with a full postmark from Mineral, this card would be just great apart from a severely abraded stamp. Otherwise, it provides good views of this lesser-known national park. Grade: 4

Code: 35800007
Price: $1.50
Crater Lake (Oregon)
Mailed in 1984 from Mineral, CA with full postmark and 40-cent Piper airmail stamp. Grade: 1

Code: 35800010
Price: $4.00
Wudalianchi Volcanic Park (folio) (China)
In Heilongjiang, this park has five connected lakes. The folio of nine cards, published by the Posts and Telecommunications Administration of Wudalianchi and which explains everything in Chinese and English, is as-new. Grade: 1

Code: 35800013
Price: $17.00
Mayon Volcano (Philippines)

Code: 35800014
Price: $3.50
Mt. Vesuvius and Eremo Hotel
Just a beautiful unmailed card, evening view, made even more desirable through addition of a large postmark from Eremo on the upper front. Minor abrasions on edges and corners do not detract in any way from this really nice and exotic card. Grade: 1

Code: 35800015
Price: $99.00
Multiple views (Namibia)
This card of Quiver Tree Forest is probably from early 1990s, and though it was not mailed, it has a message written on the back. Front is in great condition, and the reverse has exotic names on it: Keetmanshoop, Brukkaros…well, exotic to us, anyway. Grade: 4

Code: 35800016
Price: $3.50
Kamchatka (Russia)
Though this card may be handmade, it came through with five stamps and full postmark. So as far as we’re concerned, it qualifies. Grade: 2

Code: 35800017
Price: $3.00

Unused card. This mountain is due for a big eruption. Grade: 1

Code: 35800018

Code: 35800030
Price: $4.00
Volcanic eruption on Fimmvörðuháls (Iceland)
At last, we have a card from Iceland, and what a card it is. Great condition, with A Prioritaire label, postmark, and a textured stamp printed with ashes from the Eyjafjallajökull glacier. Grade: 1

Code: 35800033
Price: $0.50
Lassen Volcanic National Park (California, USA)
The reverse caption on this unused H.S. Crocker card K-105 says that Mt. Lassen is “America’s most recently active volcano,” meaning that the card either pre-dates Hawaii as a state, or they mis-spoke. Aging a bit but in good condition. Grade: 1

Code: 35800034
Price: $2.00
Kamchatka, Shiveluch volcano eruption (Russia)
What an odd, brilliant, haunting card is this. It looks more like a nuclear holocaust. The printed caption is in Russian but the writer has explained in the message. Mailed in 2012 with seven stamps and three large Moscow postmarks. A small amount of postmark ink transfer on the front. Grade: 2

Code: 35800035
Price: $7.00

Code: 35800037

Captioned all in Japanese, and mailed in 2013 with three different stamps and red “Air Mail” chop. Grade: 1

Code: 35800038
Price: $4.00
Hekla on fire (Iceland)
IF we were to open a theme category called “obscure” (we’re not going to do that), this card of a 1947 volcanic eruption would fit right in. Mailed from the USA (not Iceland!) in 2013 with Global Forever stamp, Par Avion label, and substantial processing ink smudging on the front. Grade: 4

Code: 35800040
Price: $2.00

Code: 35800041
Price: $3.00
Erupting Mount St. Helens & Yale Lake (Washington, USA)

Code: 35800042
Price: $1.00
Eruption of Mt. Mihara (Japan)
The printed caption identifies the date of this eruption (21 November 1986) on izu-oshima Island. The card itself was mailed in 2013 with two stamps, postmark, trilingual airmail sticker, and two address labels affixed. Grade: 4

Code: 35800043
Price: $1.00

Code: 35800046
Price: $6.00

Code: 35800047
Price: $2.00
San Carlos de Bariloche, Glaciares del cerro Tronador (Argentina)
Just because we knew nothing about this area, we looked it up. Hard to imagine that Tronador is an extinct volcano, but then so is Hong Kong Island, so anything is possible. Unused 4″ x 7″ card, showing handling. A strong Grade: 2

Code: 35800048
Price: $3.00
