Sometimes the old things are unquestionably the best. This film is simply stunning. Take what we're shown at 4:00. The fissures eruption. A half mile of of lava shooting 50 feet into the air, and then running 300 feet down merging into the coursing, sparkling lava rivers. Incredible. For all our technology of these digital flying-drone times, I've seen nothing that is even close to this. The beauty of the film stock alone is unique. It is also amazing to observe geologists approaching the lava fountains, struggling through the thick mists of toxic gases, ably protected by...a fishing hat.
It’s not just the spectacular sights, it’s the sound, the sound of pure unadulterated power. - Also, scenes such as these, which still occur today, all across the world, makes the idea of man made climate change laughable. Volcanic activity does more in a short time than anything man can do over hundreds of years, and the earth is just fine.
I remember this film in college geology class. Cool to find it and see it again. Thanks for saving it, Lord Periscope.
Thanks. It's what we do.

absolutely stunning
Woah cool! The music part almost made me giggle a couple of times.
Fascinating.
Reminds me of the Lake of Fire as described in an old book I read.
I think I read that one too.

The Krafts filmed the footage. I know they did die filming volcanoes. They shot some of the most harrowing stuff, risking lives. RIP Krafts.
We haven't seen an eruption this size in quite a while, it would seem.
2018 was a much more voluminous eruption.
Recycled earth.
