This image has been taken in Mahabalipuram or Mamallapuram (Tamil Nadu, India). It shows a big rounded stone named “Krishna’s butter ball” standing on a slope in apparent poor equilibrium, but in fact has managed to maintain its position for centuries. It can illustrate the importance of the “risk perception” for travelers and persons performing “pre-travel consultations”, an issue that is approached differently in four papers published in this issue, the Editorial by Wadhwaniya and Hyder (pages 217–220), the Original Article by Piotte et al. (pages 221–227), the Letter to the Editor by R. Zimmer and the Response to this letter by R. Zimmermann (pages 269–272). Photo Credit: Eric Caumes
