The second edition of Vanuatu Volcanic Run for this year, known as Talefa Run 2023, was officially launched yesterday by the Vanuatu Tourism Office (VTO).
Volcanoes in the South Sea: If you want to get up close to an actively erupting volcano and see red hot glowing lava, the exotic islands of Vanuatu give you the highest chances of seeing both a boiling lava lake (on Ambrym volcano) and the fireworks of Strombolian explosions from Yasur´s active craters!
Vanuatu islands, located between Australia and Fiji, witnessed eruption of an active underwater volcano on Wednesday, with visuals on social media showing huge fumes of ash going up in the oceanic skyline.
Philip Malsale, identified as a Vanuatu-based climatologist, shared images on Twitter that showed massive plumes of ash going into the sky. Reports in the local media claimed that the volcano is six kilometres east of Epi island, about 68 km north of the capital Port Vila.
