Batu Tara volcano:
On our latest volcano expedition, we stayed 4 days from 1-4 Nov on Batu Tara volcano. Activity during this time was relatively strong, with frequent small to very large strombolian eruptions. The following is a series of pictures from eruptions at night. Be sure also to look at a spectacular video of an eruption on our youtube channel. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)

A pyroclastic flow occurred early on 4 Nov (local time): at around 2 am local time, a powerful explosion was immediately followed by a short lava-rich, fountain-like explosion that initiated a large incandescent avalanche over the whole width of the sciara, causing also some parts of the upper dome to collapse. The avalanche turned into a small pyroclastic flow that reached the shore of the sciara and continued above water for approx. 100 m. Andi and Till managed to capture the event on camera: (Photo: Andi / VolcanoDiscovery Indonesia)

The photos were taken during 25-28 Nov 2012 when we visited the remote Komba island consisting of Batu Tara volcano during our recent volcano expedition to Indonesia. The volcano has been in continuous strombolian eruption, at fluctuating levels, since 2006. Very favorable weather and sea conditions allowed us to land several times on the narrow beach a few 100 m south of the eastern collapse scar of the volcano, the only place on shore from where the vent and its eruptions are visible. During our stay, activity varied from day to day, and consisted in frequent ash venting, mild to powerful strombolian eruptions accompanied by loud detonations and ejecting bombs to several hundred meters height above the vent, located at about 500 m elevation inside the deep collapse scar.
