But one holidaymaker has captured a volcano that erupted with such force that it triggered a sonic boom and visible shockwaves that warped the clouds in the sky.
The video shows a plume of ash being thrown up in the air from Mount Tavurvur, in Papua New Guinea, followed by impressive rippling clouds and an eardrum-rattling explosion that rocks the boat.
Must have been pretty awesome to see it and capture it !!  |
I wonder how far away he was; it took 12-13 seconds from when we see it blow to when we hear it; it does not look that far away but it seems like it must be at least 10 miles
