Rockfalls from the dome (29 - 31 Jan 2010) |
Zoom on the summit, with many vents releasing rolling red blocks. | A few seconds later, new vents become active at right. | A long cascade of rolling blocks from the main vent at left. | Dense column of ash and steam from the biggest rolling blocks. |
A massive rockfall in White's Ghaut follows the path of pyroclastic flows. | The vent active on the dome's Northern side releases voluminous rockfalls. | Rolling blocks uplift dense ash which is then blown away by a strong wind. | The same rockfalls on the north flank as seen from MVO from the NW. |
The beginning of another rockfall from the northern vent. | Huge ash cloud uplifted by the incandescent rolling blocks. | Minor rockfalls in a serene full moon night. | Ash uplifted by the rolling blocks. |
