Bali, Pura Besakih and Mt. Agung volcano (Indonesia)

Price: $2.00
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Mauna Kea

Price: $1.00
Sangay volcanoe in activity with Jibaro with a shotgun (Ecuador)

Tagaytay City, Taal Volcano (Philippines)
Just because we found this interesting, we are abridging the volcano’s Wikipedia entry here: “Taal Volcano is a complex volcano located on the island of Luzon. It is the second most active volcano in the Philippines with 33 historical eruptions. All of these eruptions are concentrated on Volcano Island, an island near the middle of Taal Lake. The lake partially fills Taal Caldera. Viewed from Tagaytay Ridge, Taal Volcano and Lake presents one of the most picturesque and attractive views in the Philippines. It is located about 50 kilometres (31 miles) south of Manila. The volcano had several violent eruptions in the past causing loss of life in the island and the populated areas surrounding the lake, with the death toll estimated at around 5,000 to 6,000.” Unused 5″ x 7″ card. Grade: 1

Greetings from The Land of the Unexpected
… also The Land of the Unidentified. We have two of these unused cards, and we know where they came from because we bought them there (Papua New Guinea), and we even know the names of those two volcanoes (Tavurvur and Vulcan, near Rabaul) — but despite a completely weird attempt at design on the back, there’s no attribution and no explanation. Grades: 1

Code: 35800096
Price: $0.50
East New Britain, Discover (Papua New Guinea)
Unused card (with Tavurvur volcano in the background), no additional captioning. The card’s reverse is very richly coloured and putting a message on there would challenge both the writer and the postal workers. Two of these cards are available. Grades: 1

Code: 35800097
Price: $3.00
East New Britain Province, Rabaul, looking across Simpson harbour (Papua New Guinea)
Official card from Post PNG. The view from this “volcanoe observatory” is even more expansive than it seems on this postcard. The card has a large stamp with full Kokopo postmark from 2017 but no other handwriting — so you could send this card to yourself, right from your home. Grade: 1

Code: 35800098
Price: $16.00
Greetings from … Volcano Town (Papua New Guinea)
Flip this card over and the caption invites you to visit Rabaul’s Simpson Harbour. As far as we can tell from our own experience, everything they say is true. Three of these cards are available. Grades: 1

Code: 35800099
Price: $3.00
Rabaul, Tavurvur Volcano (Papua New Guinea)
Unused 4-7/8″ x 6-3/4″ Hyndsight views card No. 2. The stamp area bears this legend: “I like to be seen. PLEASE don’t send me in an envelope.” The caption briefly explains eruption history. Grade: 1

Code: 35800100
Price: $7.00
