Volcano Acting Up #5: Pulsing Incandescence

[Carey]

The first week of the new blow out, we were up at VNP for the "after dark in the park".
We went to the crater rim by Jagger after the presentation. The moon was out, but partially veiled & there were nene flying in formation over the crater rim.... goose bumps to the max!

Since then we have been up a few times, each time has been totally different... sometimes there are birds riding the thermals from the vent (they don't seem to be affected... something the rangers are watching...) sometimes there is a steady plume, overtimes it is puffing like a steam engine.... Every time a difference...
