Photographer Michael Raap sent in this photo of the ascent to the top of Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua. What awaits us at the top?

This staircase leads to the peak ridge of a volcano--a burnt, desolate landscape scraping the sky. The construct of the stairs invites us right up to the top. But the way isn’t simple. Even though the stairs are there, it’s still a winding path. It will take hard work and consistency to climb, but it is possible. The bright sky calls us forward to the light up ahead, promising that it’s all worth the view from the top.
