In this clip from the Angry Planet TV series, George Kourounis rappels into the crater of the erupting Yasur volcano on Tanna Island in Vanuatu. Every few minutes the volcano explodes, sending huge glowing lava bombs flying through the air.

  • man u r crazy! risking your own life but congrats u did a great job

  • I think, in order to collect bomb specimens that are as unaltered as possible by the atmosphere. If you can find a very fresh bomb you'll get a more accurate analysis of its composition. There's method in his madness - with volcanology there usually is.

    I once read an account of 2 asbestos-clad scientists who rode a lava flow on its solidifying crust to get its temperature with a probe - so as not to damage to probe needed to keep up with flow: not possible by walking along the side.

  • even for sceince why the hell would anybody go inside the crater? of yasar volcano?

  • This is quality footage.

  • WOW...awesome video George!!!
