Great read
Really enjoyed reading this , the volcano must have been a captivating site to see , and while reading it I can only visualise what it was like ,most importantly there’s a lot of information for others that also wish to travel and share the same experience and how to go about it safely, which would be the key part form me . Beautiful photos help bring the story to life even more so , reading such an experience just makes you realise on how much there is to be seen on this planet of ours .
