Magical!! ❤

This is the best video of Mount Yasur Volcano! Yoram Yasur.

A Beautiful video.

Glad you liked it. I only recorded two whole songs - was mostly taking photos. I did start taping German Girl but stopped when the organ started making strange crackling noises.

thank you so much for posting, wonderful reminder of a memorable night... any chance of posting more?

thank you so much for this post... such a memorable night (this song was very moving live). ive seen the paradise motel many times and this night is right up there with the continental gigs!

@scottmosher The music is made via AudioMulch (software) - I used one of the demo configurations and messed around with it a bit, added samples, as per end credits.

amazing!

@riceicles123 Wiki says Plinian and Vulcanian, and from the descriptions that sounds about right from my non-expert 2 hour experience of the volcano :)

i went there with school last year, i'm from QLD, australia. It was absolutely stunning. i'll admit i was scared at first but some people were sitting with their legs over the edge. the teachers didn't let us get that close though :P it was stunning :) i suggest it to anyone and everyone :)

@sciubok nup im 15 from australia and we went in december, it was truly amaazingg.

Wow! Thanks David, for filming us and all the cute doggies who turned up to support the RSPCA ACT 2010 Million Paws Walk.

ive been up to the top of that its so beautiful especially at night they have road access to the summit you just have to walk the last 50m

Has anyone else noticed how volcanoes and geysers erupt in almost exactly the same way? I never realized that until I saw the 2004 eruption of Mt. St. Helens. It's just so much more spectacular when the liquid is rock instead of water, and the eruption is scaled up a few hundred thousand times. haha

I just discovered this song on a mix yesterday and I'm loving it! I just love it when the vocals fade and all they play is that violin rising and dropping..

I'll be there in a few weeks. I hope to get some video as good as you have. I'll also try to edit my background music so it fades out when there is something of the volcano to hear.

Can anyone here spell pyroclastic flow? Can they also outrun one?

It probably would be - that's why the volcano guides take you to the side of the volcano where the wind isn't blowing the ash. They also monitor the level of volcano activity and that determines how close you are allowed to go.

Down in there man i cant see nothing ! :S

LOOK ouT HoT RoCkS... WOoOt..WoOot!! great video! 5 stars

1:38 Wow ... a little too close for comfort for my adrenaline threshold. Just one minor shift of terrain underfoot, or one misstep and loss of footing, and kiss your ass goodbye.

I've seen quite a few great vids of Yasur. Looks a great experience to witness eruptions from one of the world's most active volcanoes where you're guaranteed to see an eruption. The Aussies got Yasur close to them, the Yanks got Kilauea, and we got Stromboli.

Thanks Sue, it is indeed an amazing place

fabulous footage!

Michele - the music is by Funk Shui - a now defunkt band from Canberra Australia. I contacted one of the percussionists for permission to use.

please could you tell me about the music in this video please ? thnks Michele

Pedro - the music was created using the Audio Mulch program (google it) - I used one of the demo track, made a few alterations and added some samples, nothing fancy - more people has commented that they don't like it :) Thanks for your comment.

Well to be exact and scientific these types that explode in (3mins) or so aren't deadly but sure are fascinating, though its really high and looks deadly its not it only throws small rocks and a little bit of smokescrees unlike the ones that take 100,000 years or so are so deadly they can burn down over 50 cities, and with the earthquakes (sometimes) they would be much deadlier of course, well nice video. =)!!!!!! 5/5!!!!!!!! Good example!!

yea great idea stand near the fuckin thing when its erupting ,your all good

nice vid but whatever that song is needs to be taken off, that song is fucking awful

Its like fireworks ! Pretty!

the video is amazing¡¡¡¡ and the music incredible :D

wasn't it a little bit dagerous??

bellissimo video... ma filmato da veri incoscenti.

I put the soundtrack over as what you would otherwise mostly hear is really annoying wind noise across the microphone. However quite a few times when it erupts, you actually can hear the noise above the music.

Well I've never heard what an erupting volcano really sounds like and it appears I still won't thanks to 4 minutes of a bleepity-bloop synth soundtrack drowning everything out.

How long has it been dormant for?

wasnt huge, but i wouldnt go near 1, right up to the rim atleast... im studying volcanoes in school so i know tht there must not have been alot of pressure in that volcanic eruption.

whoa cool i hope you can come super close to lava and show us right that going to be so awsome

i am so glad i had that geography lesson on them i am reli intrested in them in june i am going to italy just to see 1 =P

The music was created with Audiomulch Interactive Music Studio. I used one of the sample configurations, made some changes and added the samples. Mostcredit should go to Audiomulch :)

I'm not an expert but the islands of Vanuatu are of volcanic origin and this is one of several volcanoes in the chain of islands

There is volcanic activity on Heard Island and McDonald Islands - sub-antarctic Australian external territories, but no active volcano on the mainland of Australia

Absolutely! - the first five minutes I just wanted to leave, then settled down a bit until that last big one on the video - you could feel the shockwave from that one - and then we left.

Wow - sounds very frightening, and yes, always possible I suppose

austria or australia? australia = no

Obviously you guys never heard of sarcasm.
