In this June 1, 2015 photo, Yasur volcano erupts on Tanna Island in Vanuatu. Itâs constantly hissing, fussing and belching, but every half hour or so Yasur volcano sends up a tremendous spurt of lava and a boom so loud it is deafening on the crater rim and can be heard for miles. At dusk, the explosions begin to resemble fireworks, the lava glittering as it falls from the sky. At just 361 meters (1,184 feet) elevation, the volcano on the Pacific archipelago of Vanuatu is particularly accessible, and spectacularly active. Some have dubbed it the worldâs friendliest volcano, although its primal ferocity and occasionally dangerous eruptions of lava and gas would seem to defy that description.
