South-eastern Crater |
We begin our second day with the South-eastern crater. This crater started again a sporadic activity, and in any case, we have time to make a small courtesy visit to each one.
The noisy explosions are
impressive, but as in Voragine, it spits only little, and all
falls down on the cone. The summit of the cone exceeds the edge
of the crater, it will be soon visible from far away if it starts
again its past weeks' actvity. Between the explosions, we hear
the squealings of lava flow which runs slowly out of the crater.
It is this casting which is responsible for the lull of the
explosions on the cone. A small shelter was built by the guides
on the peak, towards North, but we let us not entrust our life to
it...
