I also made it to the top of the tallest waterfall in Europe!!! 100/10 recommend the view. 0/10 recommend trekking straight up and back down while raining!

The 0.5 seconds of visibility we had in a 4 hour trek up… Honest question: why do they hate switchbacks in Norway? 🇳🇴🇳🇴

Bye Islas Galápagos! I leave a chuck of my heart here. The places that make you feel small are usually the ones that change you most. #Galapagos #southamerica #santacruz #travel #beachlife

We made it to that ridge! That is considered the “safe summit” for fuego. Conditions were horrible though.

While camp slept I stayed up all night watching Fuego erupt. I patiently waited for the storm to pass. It was worthy! I also cried all night in awe! I watched my first eruption at age 4. It still does not get old!!!

Rhyolite_Prof @edithrojas.bsky.social · 16/07/2026
This is a day time eruption! I am sure you all know this but I LOVE LOVE LOVE VOLCANOES!!! My heart is so happy!!!

We were 1/4 of a mile from the summit of Volcán the Fuego when the scariest storm rolled in. It became nearly impossible to stand up and we lost all visibility (on a section similar to the devils backbone). We turned around and I was heart broken but ALIVE!!!

My oldest nephew has been raised like I am his second mom. He is about to be 12. We were playing a game and I read the card (see below) as: “GEE-TWO-GEE” He looked at me like I had broken something: “😳😒GOT-TO-GO” Never felt dumber!!! I lost 1M aura points

We also explored an angular Unconformity! Quotes of the day: “I know how James (Hutton) felt” “Prof. Rojas you are a real life Indiana Jones” 😂😂 “Yeah, there was no way I understood this in the classroom” 😭😬

On a happier note: my current hyper fixation is being able to do arm balancing. Here is a couple of crows. Reach out to your Adhd friends. They are doing dumb shit.

School starts Monday. I got these emails from a student enrolled in one of my classes. Same student harassed the other geologist last semester. Prof asked to remove him. As someone who had a student stalker before and spent 7 months in court getting a restraining order he broke. I am not well
