It is not very easy to catch a volcanic eruption. The most important is to find Yourself in a right moment at a right place. Moreover, you have to determine the best direction where to wait for it, catch the good weather, etc.  Lots of attempts would be lost for many reasons. But if You nevertheless win, You would catch something really extraordinary! At this gallery the rare moments of success in the different regions of the World are submitted.

One of the best places for such efforts seems to be Kamchatka, with 4 volcanoes – Shiveluch, Karimski, Kliutchevskoi, Bezymyanni – remaining active very often and during long periods. If You want to enjoy them, You are welcome with TST!
