It almost looks like the hole is 2 meters in diameter and that you're standing right next to it. But then a person in red coat is really small. How big is the hole really?
- hugi 6y agoI don't have exact measurements. But for some reference, here's a drone shot from the location. I'm the lone guy standing above the SAR team. https://www.hugi.io/img/crater.jpg https://www.hugi.io/img/crater.jpg
- jacquesm 6y agoI'd hate to own your life insurance policy :) Other than that great shots, please be very careful.
- matsemann 6y agothanks, that image provides a nice scale
- hugi 6y agoThe Met office just released a statement where they said the walls of the main crater are currently about 30 meters tall (~100 feet). It's of course gained some height since Saturday.
- DyslexicAtheist 6y agoholy smokes you're awfully close to the action :D
- jiofih 6y agoWhoa that is really close. Isn’t it common that lava will be ejected much farther than that? Or does this volcano have a particular known pattern already?
- hugi 6y agoThe flow is quite steady so magma isn't getting ejected very far. The more immediate danger it that the crater walls can collapse, spilling the ingredients in unexpected directions, or separate craters open up.
- dagurp 6y agoThe caldera is 30m high
