25 May 2000, 16:09, from TDF. After an increase in the fumarolic activity, we are all waiting fot the paroxysm to start. Suddenly, here it is! The SEC, completely inactive since last paroxysm, produces an ash eruption. We set up our cameras and videocameras on the tripods, and we wait. But that was all, folks! The afternoon show (© Marco Fulle) is over :-(
