Volcano from the sky
Jabal Qidr may not be active, but it is impressive.
Javed Ismail took this photo of Jabal Qidr, a stratavolcano north of Madinah over 2,000 meters above sea level this December. The volcano last erupted in 650 AD/29 AH, and Ismail captured the image using his iPhone X. Ismail, who has been with the company for 13 years, is a senior geological consultant with the Exploration Resource Assessment Department.
