Reply to comment by untitledshot in Captain Cook tried to hike this erupting volcano in 1774, Tanna, Vanuaru [OC][1536x1920] by untitledshot

I got married at the summit of Yasur back on Dec 17 2006! I’ve been to Vanuatu 5 or 6 times over the years. Tanna is amazing (and so is Ambrym). Great photo!

Thanks. Ambrym unfortunately is sleeping I think.

It’s been mostly quiet since the big 2018 eruption. The summit collapsed so much that the place where we used to set up our base camp no longer exists. There’s been a little bit of lava lake activity, but it seems very sporadic and barely a whisper of its former glory. I have descended down to the bottom of both Benbow crater and Marum crater (I used to help guide some rope descents there). I’ve been patiently waiting for it to come back to life…. still waiting.
