On this edition of Saturdays Around the World, we take you along for the ride, experiencing the beauty and power of life at the edge of one of the world’s most active volcanoes. We begin with a brief overview of what compelled Cossman to take on this adventure, and some of the remarkable images that came out of this incredible endeavour. Beyond the excitement of volcanic exploration, this project is also fascinating in its use of drone technology. The use of drones allowed the team to document the volcano like never before, gathering important information that allows scientists to study this volcano from thousands of miles away! Here is National Geographic with a look at the important scientific place this project has had. Though this last piece isn’t necessarily about the volcano itself, sometimes it is fascinating to learn what makes the adventurers on this planet tick. Here is Sam Cossman’s story, as well as more incredible footage from the edge of one of the planet’s most powerful forces… There is something remarkable about the spirit of exploration. It drives us to explore the world’s most hostile environments, the moon, and beyond. For those that will never make it to space, or find Antarctica or the rim of a volcano too much, there is an entire planet out there to discover. Travel allows us to connect with people and the places they call home. The more we recognized our shared love of this planet, the more we can do to collectively preserve its beauty and heritage for future generations! By the way, if you want to know more about the traditional culture of the islands of Vanuatu, you can check out a recent article we wrote about one photographer’s mission to capture images of traditional life before it disappears. He has a great piece about his journey to Vanuatu and the adventures that ensued!
