No one has been closer to an erupting volcano than John Seach! Some of the most dramatic volcano footage taken in the past decade has been made with the assistance of John. Exciting eruptions at Mt Etna with 800 m high lava fountains, dramatic close up footage of 300 m high explosions of lava, abseiling 200 m into an active crater, and cooking a BBQ on erupted lava for Japanese television. All this, and more, has been captured with the assistance of John Seach.
