VOLCANO

This is incredible footage, and the amazing thing is, I couldn't find any more information about the cameraman, Art Carter, on a Google search. Who is this amazing photographer who bided his time and was rewarded for his patience with three eruptions on Mauna Loa and Kilauea? The one shot of him in this film shows him wearing protective gear because of the heat near the lava fountain he is filming; it's pretty primitive when you compare it to "foil suits" other photographers, like the Kraffts, wore when working up close with a lava flow. And yet the images he captured are incredible. The science is good, too, and I like the way the narrator covers it while we watch the best and most spectacular shots of lava rivers, lava dam collapses, and so forth. I agree - this is a must-see!
