It started innocently enough...
But soon, the eruptions grew and grew; past the stars...
As you can see, one of the vents opened up quite close to the tourist area
You can't imagine the power that is felt within while standing nearby the vent
It sounds like a roaring jet engine and an enormous thunderstorm all at once!
I snuck up on one of the vents one night, as if stalking a bear...
Fortunately, it didn't bite.
