A fumarole field on the northwestern slope of Qixingshan (七星山) in Yangmingshan National Park (陽明山國家公園), at an elevation of about 805 meters in Beitou, Taipei. Although volcanic activity ceased long ago residual heat continues to build pressure deep underground, and trapped gases seep to the surface, releasing hot sulfurous gas and steam year-round. It is also one of the trailheads for the ascent of Qixingshan.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
