Observe the live expulsion of volcanic gases and steam, providing a vivid conclusion to your geological adventure. This full-day excursion offers a balanced perspective on the island's natural wonders, combining active exploration with educational insights into the volcanic forces that continue to shape the landscape of Terceira today.
