Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 44, No. 1, Pg. 13:
Rhea Workman (left) uses a GPS satellite receiver to measure subtle deformations on the surface of Mount Lata, an active volcano on the Samoan island of Ta’u. One side of the formerly dome-shaped volcano collapsed in landslides, leaving a steep escarpment (below) that is primed for further catastrophic landslides.
