Dirt Bikes on a Volcano

[Nan]

A friend of mine's husband put this video together when he and his mates took their bikes to the island of Tanna, in Vanuatu for some fun and frivolity. 

 

The mountain that is featured is Mt Yasur, a live volcano.  On one side it is possible to walk to the edge of the crater and look down into the lava bubbling away below.  On the other side (where the bikes can be seen) it is covered with volcanic ash and at the bottom is the ash plain.   Some good fun was had by all on a little island in the South West Pacific :

I walked to the edge of that volcano some years ago and sat on the rim for about 30 minutes, it's one of the most memorable things I've done and was an awesome experience, especially when all of a sudden the mountain went from complete silence to a deep rumbling and then the lava was flying up into the air (not up as high as we were on the rim), scary but amazing.

Neat trip for sure.

Thanks for sharing, Nan.

It looks almost like the bikers were trying to paint a picture with tire tracks in the ash....

or is that tyre tracks.

At any rate, that's quite an adventure.

Wow, that's cool. Now, sitting on the edge and looking down, I can pass on that lol
