White Island is located in the middle of this big 120 nm wide and 50 nm deep bay. That island became infamous one year ago, when an eruption of that volcano had killed 21 people.
At the horizon about 20 nm to the south we can see a white cloud of ash or water vapor partly covering the island. The air out here has a scent of sulfur in it.
But to the east there is the great Pacific Ocean and at its end is Chile. That is not our destination. But the sunrise over the horizon is just beautiful.
