Tanna Island - Volcano Pics


This is the lovely Cindy taking helpings from the feast at the Surf Beach Restaurant with Leia who prepares the many dishes with her assistant Suzie (16) in the kitchen. The food is excellent and just outside is a pounding surf to a gorgeous beach about a mile long.














Inside the meeting "hall" at the John Frum village. The singers and players are in the middle with all the palanques on either side. Cindy on the right with me behind her. Very intense experience.















Bob and Dianna from White Swan sitting on the rim of Mt. Yasur, a very active volcano on Tanna. We went twice and this was the relatively calm time! You can see the smallest vent down below. The big vent is between where we were and a ledge below. That is where the big fireworks come from.















Boom!
