If George Emil Palade had not become a US citizen in the 1950s, Romania's Nobel Prize record would look better.

Mud volcanoes of Berca
Huge mountains spewing hot lava, glowing red and covered in kilometre-high clouds of smoke. These are probably the first images that come to mind when you think of volcanoes.
