Stromboli 1969


Ingrid and I claimed the 1000 meter high volcano at late evening and spent the night at the rim of the erupting volcano. The volcanic ash fell on our covered heads and we could hear the sound like crushing glass when the molten lava fell on the ground close to us. We had no tripod and used supports on rocks to record several seconds of exposure time. Walking down in the light of a hand hold torch was not easy, but it was nothing compared to when we found at that the hostel was out of water as well as the whole island.
