Explorer Sam Cossman recently employed the help of multiple drones to capture photos and footage of the Marum Crater in an active volcano on the Pacific island nation of Vanuatu. He ended up losing multiple drones in the process, but he left the island with spectacular images that will help provide a better understanding of the volcano and the life that exists around it.

That’s just plain awesome!

On Star Trek the drones were life forms.
But if they died to give us these cool shots, I am OK with it.

Sam Cossman sounds like a munchkin. Do they inhale helium around volcanoes? ;-)
But seriously, this is pretty cool. DJI Phantom is masterful in their PR campaigns.
They are a lot of fun!

All that CO2 spewing out of there . . . now how can Al Gore tax that thing, or cap-and-trade with it?

They’re life forms here too; the name comes from the male honey bee.

Thank you SO MUCH SwampSniper for posting this. I am once again totally awed by one of God’s amazing Creations, and impressed beyond words by the courage and daring of the guys who went to take this video.
Fantastic!!!

Wow, so cool. The very edges of the molten area are particularly fascinating. They look like petals of a flower, waving in the wind.
Thanks for posting!

Maybe they’ll tax Virgins for not jumping in to stop it.

Excellent images.
But aren’t the “volcano’s insides” actually located further down - underneath all that bright orange stuff?
