Dressed in a shiny metallic suit，Katia Krafft's small frame is overshadowed by the red curtain of molten rock that bursts from the ground before her.The dramatic moment was captured （捕捉） in a photo taken atop Iceland's Krafla volcano in 1984，during the final breathing of a multi-year-long eruption.Looking at the image，one can almost feel the volcano's heat，hear its roar，and sense Krafft's heart pounding as the volcanologist does what she loves most：bearing witness to our planet's strong anger.
    Katia Krafft was a fearless pioneer in volcanology，studying the explosive peaks at a time when there were few women in the field.She was born in the Rhine valley of northeast France in 1942，curing the height of World War II.The chaotic human world drove both Katia and her husband，Maurice Krafft，also a volcanologist，to seek comfort in nature.The moment a volcano exploded，they dropped everything to analyze and capture the beauty and mystery of each event.
    The Kraffts used their videos of explosive eruptions to explain the complex risks and uncertainties of these disasters.It changed the ability to communicate volcano science.Their videos are credited as one of the primary reasons that officials in the Philippines took the warning signs of Mount Pinatubo's eruption in 1991 seriously.Yet the Kraffs didn't live to see that eruption.The couple died less than two weeks earlier in Japan during a monstrous eruption，which claimed 41 other lives.
    Katia's impact on volcanology has reached far beyond her death and has encouraged many young women to study our restless planet. "Katia Krafft is definitely the reason why I'm doing this job，" says Carla Tiraboschi，a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Minster，Germany.Tiraboschi first saw Katia in a documentary when she was just six or seven years old and has been crazy about volcanoes ever since.She now studies the processes at work deep below the volcanic peaks.
