Katia Krafft was a pioneering volcanologist known for her groundbreaking work in filming, photographing, and recording volcanoes, often placing herself close to lava flows. Born on April 17, 1942, in Soultz-Haut-Rhin, France, she developed a passion for volcanoes after seeing photographs of them, which fueled her interest in geology. Her images and data have been invaluable for the study of active volcanoes. Tragically, Krafft died alongside her husband Maurice Krafft during an eruption at Mount Unzen in Japan on June 3, 1991.
