Fifa: a great scan of Austria Scott#881 1970 (mountain scene). Normally I wouldn't be able to convey this information but I have borrowed the Scott's 2010 Standard Vol 1 A-B from the local library for the holiday period.

Thank you,cynical, for the info on the Austrian stamp. Last summer I had the stamps I inherited appraised and this is good enough for me. I am not in it for the money.I just love the stamps character, info and what they remind me of in my past....I just love to post intersting stuff I have. I started to collect Se-tenants and Europe 1956 -1973.

Galeras (known as Urcunina among the 16th-century indigenous people) is an Andean stratovolcano in the Colombian department of Nariño, near the departmental capital Pasto. Its summit rises 4,276 metres (14,029 ft) above sea level. It has erupted frequently since the Spanish conquest, with its first historical eruption being recorded on December 7, 1580. A 1993 eruption killed nine people, including six scientists who had descended into the volcano's crater to sample gases. It is currently the most active volcano in Colombia.

Mount Rainier is very much a potentially deadly (although quiet) volcano in my part of the U.S. Many cities have disaster plans in case it decides to wake up some day.
