Papua New Guinea volcano explodes in sonic boom eruption It’s not often we get to witness a volcanic eruption with this much power. On August 29, the Tavurvur volcano in Papua New Guinea erupted with fanfare. The images and video that were taken during this eruption were incredible, but nearly as amazing as this video that shows Tavurvur exploding with such intensity that it produced a sonic boom. The video, which was recorded by vacationer Phil McNamara and posted to his wife’s Facebook page late last week, went viral over the weekend. It begins as boating vacationers watch the smoldering volcano from a few miles off the coast. It doesn’t appear that the volcano is very active until about 12 seconds in, when it explodes into eruption. The shock wave from the explosion can be seen as volcanic ash bursts into the air. You can see the shock wave traveling down the volcano slope at 00:13, and then ramming the air above the volcano a few seconds later. The sudden compression condensed the water vapor in the air, so you can see ephemeral clouds forming in a rough circle above the explosion. I looked carefully but saw no sign of it traveling across the water. ____/\/\_________________________________ █▓▒░ Like, Tag, Comment & share ░▒▓█ ♥♥♥ ¯¯¯¯\/\/¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Hit Like (y) Page To Stay Updated Most Amazing Videos ♫* ⁀‵⁀,)♥..LIKE....*♫ .`⋎´ ♥¸.•°*”˜˜”*°•.
