Hamish has been fascinated by volcanoes since he was eight and he had to study them as a school assignment. At this time in his life Hamish liked to model himself in Indiana Jones. Since then he has tried to learn as much about them as possible, hoping to bring what Indy brought to archaeology to volcanology. He is now completing his Geomorphology Masters and has spent time working at several different seismic centres. When Hamish travels his preferred destination is somewhere with a volcano. His next trip will take him (hopefully) to the summit of Mount Killimanjaro.

Hamish isn’t only about volcanoes, he’s also developed his adventurers charm as a leader in the outward bound program, and by spending a year volunteering as an aid worker in Kenya.
