Mount Yasur

Mount Yasur

I took this photo on the rim of Mt. Yasur, Island of Tanna, Vanuatu, August 23, 2006. The loud "BOOMS!" from the eruptions were incredible. This is one angry mountain!

Re: Awesome!

Thanks! We were probably about 1000 ft from the vent and another 6-700 feet from where the lava fell. It seemed safe enough. (Hah!)

A tour group next us were wearing plastic helmets. Yeah, that's going to protect them from a flying 10 pound chunk of molten lava!
