Scenic point
Mount Yasur
Mount Yasur, located on Tanna Island in Vanuatu's South Pacific Ocean, has been erupting for centuries. Yasur volcano is only 361 meters above sea level, but has many craters within 400 meters. Yasur Volcano is located in the seismic zone of the Pacific Ring of Fire and is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. When a volcano erupts, hot magma hisses, slaps the crater, and is thrown into the air along with lava. Tourists more rushed to watch this shocking scene before dawn, and felt the excitement of the heat wave at close range without the protection of fences.
The lava from Yasur Volcano rises straight up and down, and seldom erupts obliquely. Therefore, it is called "one of the most accessible volcanoes in the world" and generally does not hurt tourists. The volcano drives the development of local tourism and brings high income to Tanna Island. While exploring, tourists can enjoy the silhouette of the mountain top and the sea scenery in the morning light, while visiting this island that was once famous for "cannibalism". The local area has launched a traditional Vanuatu village tour project. Residents wear grass skirts, eat coconuts, and welcome tourists in a friendly manner.
