Volcanologist on the frontline
Mount Yasur (Vanuatu) in August 2008. A volcanologist peers over the edge of the main crater during a period of intense activity and witnesses a powerful explosion. Most of the projections, bombs, and ash fall back into the crater, but it is not uncommon to observe a stray bomb falling around it.
