Yasur Volcano, on the island of Tanna, Vanuatu - erupts every few minutes, throwing out red hot molten rock and clouds of ash and gas. Photos here: http://...
Can anyone here spell pyroclastic flow?Can they also outrun one?

It probably would be - that's why the volcano guides take you to the side of the volcano where the wind isn't blowing the ash. They also monitor the level of volcano activity and that determines how close you are allowed to go.

Not really, but a little danger is part of the fun!Volcanos that erupt more or less constantly (like Yasur) are not really that dangerous-as volcanos go, anyways. They don't build up the gas pressure nessicary for a large scale eruption; they vent constantly and more or less predictably.

Awesomness. Pure awesomness.

1:38 Wow ... a little too close for comfort for my adrenaline threshold. Just one minor shift of terrain underfoot, or one misstep and loss of footing, and kiss your ass goodbye.

I've seen quite a few great vids of Yasur. Looks a great experience to witness eruptions from one of the world's most active volcanoes where you're guaranteed to see an eruption.The Aussies got Yasur close to them, the Yanks got Kilauea, and we got Stromboli.
