Yasur Video Page July 2000All videos were recorded with a digital videocamera, and reduced to a MPEG format for STROMBOLI ON-LINE. As usual, you can see the videos by clicking on each thumbnail. The filesizes are indicated in the captions. A good soundtrack is available only when it makes sense ;-). | |||
 24 July 2000. At Yasur volcano vent C produces strombolian activity that reminds us of a dear old friend FAR AWAY volcano... :-). Here you can see it depicted in infrared light, with sound. 3 MB |  25 July 2000. We are on the Southern rim of Yasur. Vent B produces its typical completely silent ash eruptions. 1 MB (no audio) |  25 July 2000. From the Northern rim of Yasur, we observe that also vent C produces beautiful ash eruptions. They are more violent, containing bombs and they produce sound! So, we included the soundtrack here. Please note the air pressure wave expanding in front of the ash. 2 MB |  25 July 2000. From the Northern rim of Yasur, another ash eruption. You can see single bombs erupted. On the original video, also their shades on the conduit walls are evident, but you have to be a very good observer to see them on a MPEG file ;-). 2.5 MB (with audio) |
 25 July 2000. From the Northern rim of Yasur, another ash eruption. You can follow the few bombs in their trajectories up to the bright blue sky of Tanna. Turn the volume high before downloading, and enjoy your heart-attack ;-). 1.1 MB |  25 July 2000. We return to the camp, and... let's have a tea. OOOPS! The cups are still in Paama, together with the spoons (see Marco's photo). Here Douglas Charlie proves that you can drink hot tea directly from the kettle, well, almost a kettle :-)... 700 KB (no audio) |  25 July 2000, from Yasur E rim. A panoramic tour of the opposite W rim at the sunset. 1.2 MB (no audio) |  24 July 2000, from Yasur E rim. Near the sunset, an explosion at vent C. Not even a group of noisy french tourists manages to totally ruin the beautiful sound of bombs landing around the vent. 2.1 MB |
 24 July 2000, from Yasur E rim. Another nice explosion recorded at vent C. In the meanwhile, the french tourists have gone away. On Yasur, unlike Stromboli, it is a bit easier to find moments without any tourist. With nice sound of falling bombs, too. 1.2 MB |  25 July 2000, from Yasur E rim. Another explosion at vent C. This one is filmed at a greater zoom level. 1.8 MB (with audio) |  25 July 2000, from Yasur E rim. Although the thumbnail is not among the most appealing ones, this video is particularly nice. A small bomb erupted during a spattering phase is followed in its rotations and final breaking into two smaller ones. 350 KB (no audio) |  25 July 2000, from Yasur E rim. This is an original way of filming an eruption. Zoomed on the rim of vent C, the videocamera is recording in a time-integrating fashion. This allows to follow the trajectories of the bombs erupted during the spattering phase. 1.5 MB (no audio) |
