Glider over volcano photo

[Eric Bick (ZN7)]

Does anyone know who took this photo? Or anything else about it. Not sure whether there is a hint in the file name or not? Google search didn't turn up anything of relevance. (Let me know if problems with link.)

BTW: Motivation - Smithsonian Air & Space Museum found this in their archives and want to make it a part of an exhibition on soaring. They want to be able to acknowledge the photographer.

Robin Dautremer is apparently the photographer. Lives in France. Villarrica volcano in Chile.

Thanks. We'll see if we can track this down.

Amazing what you can find on google maps:

OK, now I'm curious. Are they climbing? Are volcanos good thermal producers? Is the poison gas a concern?

Jean-Marc Clememt was the pilot.

Dear friends,

The photo was taken by myself from my Stemme D-KKOP at the Villarica, a volcano just north of Pucon/Chile. It is one of a series of photos I shot at that day. The wave in the lee of the volcano gave us the opportunity to climb again after each photo.

The glider "in" the volcano is a Nimbus 3 DM, D-KTTT. The pilots are Josef Holzapfel and his son. We started from San Martin de los Andes to this pleasant flight.

Kind regards

Klaus Ohlmann

Stunning! And here's another that was taken on the same flight? If you don't mind, I'll PM the poster with the "real" story.

Thank you for the response. I will pass this information on to the Smithonian.
