Most SCARY Volcano Eruptions Caught On Camera 

Am I the only person that thinks the guy taking a picture by the volcano as it erupts is absolutely out of his mind? They don’t understand why rocks are falling on them??

3:03 they lucky that they didn't get to experience a pyroclastic cloud close and personal 😮. People are stupid 🤬

The guys that were hiking at the volcano that is by far one of the dumbest things I think I’m gonna seen 🤦🏽‍♀️

2:18 If they're filming where I think they're filming (actually on the effing Santiaguito lava dome!), those guys are insane. I'd like to witness a volcanic eruption in person one day, but not actually be THAT close. They are so unbelievably lucky they weren't vaporized.

I'm from St Vincent, but I live in Barbados. The ash plume deposited more ash on Barbados than it did on many areas of St Vincent. It was almost apocalyptic here in Barbados. Black as night, ash everywhere. You couldn't stop it from getting into your house, your car. Even now I find bits of it. In 1979 there was also another eruption, and we were there on vacation. That was also quite bad. I was 4, but I remember it so well.

2:12 That grey smokey ash is thousands of degrees hot. Those guy were in serious danger, more danger than they realised.

These volcano catastrophes are a clear reminder that nature is simply unpredictable.

Baby Krakatau regularly throws all its toys out of the pram!

7:55 "If you want this kind of footage, you have to break a few rules." That sounds an awful lot like Stockton Rush about OceanGate. And you remember what happened to *him,* right?

Another excellent presentation! Volcanic danger can catch even officials by surprise. Once in Guatemala, I joined a guided climb up Pacaya Volcano in the National Park. While up in the crater where we examined a recent lava flow, the summit vent exploded with a sonic boom. We all got down safely. Months later the Volcano devested the area in a fit of wrath. I will never forget the gut punch that explosion made through my body.

The Darwin Award was invented eons ago for a reason lol

If these people had watch the videos of Mount St. Helens erupting they would not have stood there filming.

"Once in a lifetime experience"... Well, it's more of a "Last in a lifetime experience"...

2:00 People like this think they are only risking their own life, but they get into trouble, then others have to risk their lives to rescue them.

I am surprised White Island, NZ was not included

„That wus fokin awesome“ Bruh. That’s why humanity will extinct at some point 😂

Anyone from the UK remember the smell of that Icelandic volcano, some years ago, and the yellow haze?

I love your videos! I've been watching for years! Thanks for the great videos!

I have visited Etna July this year, all the way to the top. It was calm and just smoking a little bit, you feel pretty vulnerable when you are standing on the top, seeing those plumes of smoke. Still, one of the most awesome things I’ve ever seen and did in my life. Its worth it to do a tour if you ever get the chance.

7:13 is the most impressive display of volcanic power I have ever seen!!!

A young volcanologist I would advise against going to the summit and wear a hard hat and mask breathing in ash claim lives and getting caught in the pyroclastic flow instant death

If I was the Volcano Santa Maria, I would be annoyed to have little idiots on my slopes 🌋

Those who were on the craters edge while it erupted: I can't decide if they were incredibly brave, or incredibly foolish!

I think that last one might have inspired something from a game called Curse of Monkey Island. There was a volcano called Mount Acidopholus that had to have vegan offerings because it was lactose intolerant, lol. Considering Bromo was the name of an antacid brand back in the day, I’m seeing some parallels.

9:00 Of course it is snow. You can even see the small layer of ash in the next clip covering the snow.

I cannot understand why people get so close to active volcanoes like this, specially after what happened at Whakaari White Island in New Zealand

Thanks you for filmingand editingthe footage.

Great footage!

I would like to thank all the people dumb enough to film a volcano up close so I can watch it from the safety of my home.

Their talent makes everything so enjoyable and creative.

in most case the explosion size is usual since santa maria is strombolian type, vanuatu is a lava lake, you can even predict etna fountain size. so yes they are in a dead zone, but the timed release of heat/material/gas release make them predictable and you can establish you own safe zone if you know your volcanoes, close enough for be safe 99% of time, with lifetime sound, smell, sight show, but with 1% risk to get killed or hurt with anormal release.... but some guys in the video like krakatoa or sivelush clearly dont know those volcanoes, for the crazy guy trying it, use drones at least you loose only money :p and check data of volcanoe eq/deformation/gas etc..its public data.

Is there a faulty microphone in the first 3 vids? There are so many beeps. We have been on Mt. Yasur in 2013 for 2 nights and it was a magnificent experience!

Have you ever hear sinabung eruption in Indonesia ?

On number 4... yeah, I'm pretty sure it IS snow at the beginning. Notice how the tracks on road are clear. Volcanic ash is not known for its tendency to pile on the sides of roads. Besides, volcanic ash is heavy, those roofs would collapse.

They were very, very, lucky indeed...!!! Never mess with nature as a whole, and with active volcanoes in particular, as they tend to burp as you least expect as we could see here...!!!

You were even afraid to upload the video of the Mount Saint Helens eruption. Additionally, you cannot watch the entire footage of the Mount Saint Helens eruption on the internet because it has been censored. Years ago, I had the chance to watch the full version of the eruption somehow, and believe me, it was the most terrifying and horrifying sight I have ever witnessed in my life. What you see in that video is nothing compared to the magnitude of Mount Saint Helens

Keep it coming

First guys were crazy

I used to be a daredevil; now I’m a scaredy cat. Youthful immortality has given way to cautious wisdom.

You forgot about Mt. St. Helens that erupted in the early 1980's and did some serious damage to the immediate area and eastern WA.

I'm here and thank you for another video

Literally tried this just because of this video last night. Did soy sauce, horseradish, red wine vinegar and some green Tabasco and sugar to taste (made it up). Darn good and super easy!

Wow that was informational and awesome extremely awesome thank you for sharing

I have been on the erupting Anak Krakatau a few weeks before the tsunami. But I did this with a volcano expert. I have also visited the Cumbre Vieja on La Palma as it devoured large parts of El Paso.

In a world often filled with negativity, these stories of Good People and their deeds are truly inspiring. 5:50

Yeah let's just stand there and film a volcano erupting.. natural selection at its finest... especially on the brother of krakatoa the 1883 eruption that literally blew its self apart.. if I remember correctly the sound was so loud it traveled around the earth 6 times or more) The coolest thing I ever saw on a live cam of Yellowstone (I don't dare to even to go there, because well my leg sometimes gives out and if I was on a boardwalk and that happened .. either 3rd degree burns or worse) but on the live cam I seen multiple geyser eruptions it was awesome to see

Is's strange that Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Haapai is not on the list, after all it was the 1st VEI-6 (possible) eruption of XXI century

Indonesia actually has a quite advanced tsunami early warning system that includes ocean sensor buoys connected to sirens and text warnings. The only reason the system failed in 2018 is because some of the sensors were stolen and the warning issued was ignored by locals who had become complacent by many warnings that turned out to only be “mini” tsunamis and the sirens had no back up batteries when they lost power by the quake, they weren’t able to sound a warning. There are many ongoing efforts to fix these problems so there is no repeat warning failure.

At 9:17 This is Snow and a little bit later snow coverd by Ash ;)

Thank you Underworld You Tube Channel for keeping us informed educated warned and prepared Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays December 23 2023

In fact, the video is very amazing and shocking. Why are they not afraid? If they touch the lava, they will melt😮

The Mt Shivelush ash fell on top of a couple feet of snow, so the video is kind of confusing. Still amazing tho!

Dear friends, "krakatoa" is a misspelling!!! The locals call it KrakatAU.

I would never go near a volcano.

Cool videos🎉🎉

Ma shaa Allah

Better utilize a drone by flying it to take beautiful views. It is way safer than going in person

When you are rooting for the volcano.

That ash spread of poor soil would revitalise and fertilise makeing things grow! Surly why not bag it and sell 🤷‍♂️

2:52, the people of pompeii happened to be about 5 miles away and still needed to run xD

Active Volcanoes in Guatemala by level: Volcan Pacaya: Easy to climb, relatively safe to stay there, you can even cook with lava 😅 Volcan de Fuego: Hard af to climb, very explosive, violent and very active volcano, this thing is always angry but is relatively safe to watch without die. Volcan Santa Maria/Santiaguito: Try it at your own risk, hard af to climb, hard af to stay there, hard af to breath, if you get caught by a sulphur cloud or pyroclastic cloud you are dead

Bucket List: 1. NOT scaling the side of a volcano.

Thanks for video😂😂❤❤❤

The one thing people fail to realize about Krakatoa is that enitre 4 island group is part of the entire volcano... if the entire thing were to go, it would be on the level of Yellowstone (maybe larger)...

now that is neat, mother nature getting angry like that 🫣😎💕💕🗿🗿🗿

These are volcanic eruptions you wouldn't believe if not filmed.

Mount Saint Helens not on list. It was bulging at the side and blew up horizontal and took out a bloke recording it from a distance. Should be number 1

Impressive videos for sure. As for me, the closest I will come to anything volcanic is playing the floor is lava with my kids.

09:00 That was in fact snow...a few seconds later at 09:12...you can see the ash covered snow. Maybe if you are going to do science based videos...you should look into the difference between snow and ash lol.

I can't believe those idiots risked their lives sitting on the rim of an active volcano !!!!!!!!!!

the first one is standard australian man activity

The image shown at 13:17 is upside down.

2:24 What is this sound?

Wow amazing volcano

I want to point out that the sacrifices people make to Mt Bromo - the animals and food stuffs mentioned - it's much less grim than it sounds. The people who are throwing items IN, stand on the rim, & gently toss their items. But there's a crowd of other people, about 10 feet down, who catch or pick up everything, and carry it right back up to the rim and then home with them. So, food that is thrown in, doesn't get wasted. Animals thrown in - end up back in a village or town. The only sacrifice element is that the throwers are sacrificing their ability to benefit from their item. But it is neither polluting, wasteful nor cruel. Though I can't attest to the long term health and living status of the animals.

For Mount Yasser I was like no sir

1:33 that’s is an amazing site but bro yall are really flying toooo close to the Sun!!!!!

Major note here that if you happen to be near an ash fall don’t breath without a mask otherwise bad things do happen mainly suffocating on your own lungs from the ash mixing with the moisture in them.

I'll never understand why people want to live this close to devastation, seems to me they are thrillseekers.

It's like those first two guys were like "A Volcano is nothin more than an alligatah mada rawk. And we Aussies foight alligahtahs fa lunch.

The b/w photo at 13 min 16 sec its turned upside down, a sad misstake. Otherwise you guys make remarkleble films. Victor

First clip/video.... Those guys are absolutely crazy in the worst way. They are lucky it wasn't a big big eruption and were turned into mist but then got lucky by not getting a boulder dropped on themselves because they were WAY to close.

Pretty sure the photo at 13:15 is upside down.

At 7:23 when you have to fart but have diarrhea 😂💀

I wanna have a few drinks at the bar with the first two guys.

Its all fun and games till your air supply is replaced by thick poisonous burning hot gas.

White Island nz needs to be in this

6:27 it’s Bromo Volcano. Not Yasser

Yeah that sound isn’t something you want to hear being next to a volcano.

L'ultima eruzione non è del monte somma Io vivo in queste zone e vi assicuro che non è il Monte somma Vesuvio ma un altro vulcano

how did the KOMO 4 news mans footage of Mt. St. Helens not make this list?

I'd start screaming and running

I wanted to see a 1400 degree slab of molten rock land on the back of that one guy. That's just me.

13:15 Photo upside-down. Go Underworld!

I didn’t know there was a baby Krakatoa volcano

Of course, who’d think getting on a volcano and filming the eruption would be something dangerous! Come on…were you dropped on the floor head first when you were young? Cheez….Looking for trouble…you’ll eventually find it.

First images of the russian volcano is snow. The rest is of ashfall. You can see the color of it. Gray ash on top of snow.

Not hindsight our being cleaver but a helmet for sure before any idiout go up into hell.

The Nina, The Pinta, The Santa Maria ..

The people who took the animal offerings to the rim of Mount Bromo didn't realize that the volcano also wanted some human offerings as well. Instantaneous death. Volcanoes are not something to play with. Some of those dare devils might not be so lucky the next time.
