Tips to know before hiking Mount Yasur volcano 👇🏻
Mt Yasur volcano on Tanna island, Vanuatu, is one of the most active volcanoes (eruptions occurring several times per hour), as well as one of the most easily accessible volcanoes in the world.
There is a warning system that rates volcano’s activity from 0 to 4. If the activity level is rated lower than 2, the crater can be approached safely. When the activity level is rated 3 or higher, approaching the volcano is extremely dangerous and banned.
When the eruption occurs, first you SEE bright yellow-red light, then flying lava and the explosion, after you can actually see the sound wave and HEAR the buumm. Then you FEEL ground shaking and warm air full of sand and after you can SMELL the sulphur.
Mt. Yasur volcano hike tips:
🌋 There will be a lot of ash fyling around and you will be covered in it.
🌋 Bring warm clothes that you won’t feel bad to be covered in ash. Plus it gets cold at the top.
🌋 Wear sturdy shoes. You are going to the top of an active volcano!
🌋 If you are having asthma or breathing problems, bring a mask or something to cover your nose and mouth with. Did I mention the ash?
🌋 I was wearing sunglasses, because ash was everywhere and my eyes were all in tears trying to take it out.
🌋 Water pouch or a bag to protect your phone and camera from the ash.
🌋 Explosions are LOUD so bring earplugs. I didn’t have them (no one told me) but which resulted in ringing and buzzing sound for the next few days.
🌋Rotten eggs smell in indescribable. At some eruptions almost makes you gag. So if you have, bring a scented mask or scented tissues.
🌋 Don’t forget your head lamp or a torch.
🌋 Have baby wipes to wash away the ash when getting back from the volcano.
