Go Tell It on the Mountain, Part 1 – Pacific Islands: Mountain-Combing on the Looney Front

This is the first in a series on mountains and volcanoes I’ve met around the world, not necessarily the most famous or tallest like Everest or Kangchenjunga (I was on a multi-decade camera fast when I saw them), just beautiful mountain scenery, even if not particularly high, snapped and chosen at random, starting with the Pacific Islands.
