the main reason for going to Tanna was of course to stand on the rim of Mt Yasur and look down at the most accessible active volcano, doing its thing

we were a bit worried-the DFAT site still has a travellers advisory and even Lonely Planet says don't go if the volcano is at level 3 or 4

as it turns out DFAT had simply not updated the site from an eruption in end May or early June and the volcano is actually at level 2- think it may well have been at level 1 on the night we visited

hang the expense, its worth it

got a few seconds of video as well and will post when I process.Its awesome
