- A fissure eruption in Piton de la Fournaise, Réunion Island, Indian Ocean. In the northeastern flank of Dolomieu summit Crater next to Piton Voulvoul area, a fissure opened up in the morning of the 2nd of July 2023 at 8h30AM.
After only a few hours the fissure died out, but only to continue two hours later about 500m further down. The video shows this part of the fissure.
Love the shake !
Beautiful
WOW! That was some incredible footage! Very reckless though, I hope you keep yourself safe
Thanks for the feedback!
And don't worry some moments can be impressive indeed but not that risky as long as you have proper equipment and knowledge of the ground.
(Yet part 2 will show some way much more challenging moments...)
Of course that being said I obviously don't recommend anyone to do it :)
Incredible
Crazy pulse 🌋👍🏻
Incroyable ce brouet de scorie brassé par les gaz!!
j'ai appris un mot, brouet c'est exactement ça :)
Ohh it shakes like Santa’s big belly 😊
Kawaii thing unusally look like
Well I'm lucky enough to say here it's the routine of a typical fissure eruption ;)
Can you throw a heavy ball in there?
Well I had to walk about 4 hours to reach this eruption so technically of course I could throw a heavy ball and watch it deflate and slowly melt but that is a lot to carry for not so good result 😉
Basically the ball would stay on the surface while melting in flames.
You fool! You could have been killed! I thank you very much for this footage, but WHY did you step up next to the boiling lava?! One big burst of air and you would be covered in hot lava. Nevertheless, amazing footage. But how/why did you do this??? 😯
Watch again , it is not boiling lava , it is a dying out vent which means it is about to end. Less and less gas is escaping from the vent so it is getting less and less hot to the point that you could even stand on it and not risking much except melting your shoes ;)
Why am I visiting erupting volcanoes ? Because it is the best show on earth.
How am I doing it ?
With knowledge, humility , and a calculated as well as accepted part of risk.
Ok, but what if the lava suddenly rises again? It has happened before, like in Grindavik Iceland, where the volcanoes will slowly die out, but there every once in a while is still a blast of gas/lava that shoots into the air. And also, what type of lava is this? I assume it is Ā'a lava, since it is more Rocky looking, so maybe this makes it less dangerous, but still. Also since you say you love volcanoes, you should visit iceland and see the erupting volcanoes. They just stopped, but it is predicted that the next eruption could be in days, and could even destroy a town. Just mentioning it.
@@DorisCoble you are right a ""last breath"" could still spread some lava around. I waited quite a long time before getting such close, watching the pattern of the degassing, in the end it never got angry again and slowly died like always with these eruptions at La Fournaise. Remember that the ground has got steep slopes and gravity playing an important role the vents which are higher are most of the time the first to extinguish itselves.
This dying out vent was the highest still active vent from the fissure.
Lava type is either Aa or Pahoehoe, most of the time both. You can't really define a lava which still is inside eruptive vents or craters, it has to come out of it and flow. Only then can you really say it is Aa or Pahoehoe.
About Iceland I already did in 2014 with a much larger eruption than the ones occurring in the Krysuvik area since 2021, ""watch My video Holuhraun the lava flood"" Me and the pilot were the luckiest guys on earth this day 😉.
I sincerely thought about going to Iceland again but I would not be able to get close to the eruptive sites as there would be thousands of social networks trolls wishing me to die and calling the police , dozens of drones harrassing me while broadcasting live on CZcams, it would be absolutely impossible to feel good there, while I just have to wait for the next eruption here, about two per year, not a big deal to wait , no cops, no internet, almost nobody, real adventure !
