UPDATE: Volcano video

With a new internet connection, I was finally able to upload a video I took at the mouth of Mt Yasur in Vanuatu. Video worked much better then pictures, further evidence that I could have had some good pictures if I had mastered the camera's settings.

  3. Hi Dan, that is super cool! I've seen hot lava in Hawai'i but it was more of an ooze than an eruption. LOVE IT!

    Your blog is AWESOME!!!

  4. Thanks Yummy! I imagine if we were in Hawai'i there'd have been barriers (and postcards for sale). In Tanna it was just us, the edge, and a fuming red mouth. It was nuts but of course I loved it.

    Well it's a mutual admiration society, because I think YOUR blog is awesome! Thanks for taking a look, my time here has been tons of fun and I'm glad to share it.

  5. I was watching Angry planet about five minutes before I clicked the play buton on this video. On Angry planet Greg Kourounis (host of said show) was exploring a volcano somewhere near Nuku'alofa (it may very well have been Tanna, i'm really not sure) and he was wearing one of those big silver, heat proof, space man suits, obviously in fear of being burned to death. So I must say Dan that with this video you have proven to be more of an adventurer/man then stars of both OLN and Discovery combined.

  6. Hey Dave, maybe that guy was exploring the brand-new volcano that erupted near this town earlier this year? Whatever, thank you for further proof that I am awesome.
