This is a series of pictures of the eruption from the same camera position as you can see the earlier pictures there is new land emerging quite some distance from the original cone we set up around 2pm in the afternoon having walked across a fresh lava field for two hours we were in position down wind roughly 500 meters from the cone when suddenly the sea seemed to drop this was the lava tube collapsing and the start of the eruption we all thought we might die but were transfixed by the beauty and nature power of the Earth. This was the moment I understood that the last think we want to do is upset our Planet.

Camera: Cambo 4 x 5 210mm
