Fissure 17, first one there, ground cracking underneath my feet, creating new earth.

[@trevorb467]

A sincere thanks for risking your life for this footage. It is absolutely amazing!

[@ElGibby]

That sounded like an angry bear in the beginning! Never knew a volcano could make such noises. Thank you for sharing with us, but please stay safe. All the best to you, your family and friends.

[@kathrynkenyon785]

AWESOME SOUND EFFECTS! Thanks for risking your life and capturing this historic event. Would have loved drone footage of 17, or actually one of these fissures just opening up. Too bad this kinda beauty causes so much destruction as it creates. ;-)

[@xxvavyguy4457]

This vid. is on the knife edge of boldness and lunacy. LOL. Great stuff!!

[@THEpersonn4838]

The fact that you could hear rocks hitting the leaves and bushs nearby should tell you how scary it is.

[@alanmumford8806]

Holy cow! Viewing this footage now, in mid-July, the violence and unpredictability of that place seem terrifying to me. I would feel MUCH safer standing 50m away from fissure 8, gushing at full flow! The ground could have literally erupted under your feet. And I do mean literally!

[@volcanoimagec.a.5881]

I left a day before all this went down. Saw the overflowing lava lake before it disappeared. Excellent footage.

[@bradleybenedict8528]

Beautiful video of mother nature at work....stay safe....keep up the great videos.

[@happydayz5321]

I love the drone views! They're the best!

[@brianspangler3771]

These fissure-type volcanoes are pretty damn terrifying knowing that there's lava right under your feet getting ready to erupt through those cracks in the ground and create literal hell on earth.

[@timohara4077]

Thanks for watching! By sunrise the whole area was covered with lava

[@brianspangler3771]

@timohara4077 I remember watching some of the coverage of that eruption back in 2018. Some of the footage showing fissures erupting literally in people's backyards was pretty crazy. I know there's new activity happening with Kilauea so I'm keeping an eye on a live stream to hopefully catch it when it erupts again. Yall stay safe out there. Greetings from North Carolina by the way.

[@timohara4077]

@brianspangler3771 Thanks Brian, hopefully more action to come. Take care

[@josephastier7421]

I would be terrified knowing their were active vents hiding in those bushes.

[@LotsofStuffYT]

I could tell that your scared to death, adrenaline pumping. Could practically hear your heart beating. Camera is all shaky. Gave me ptsd just watching. Your once in a lifetime experience could have been last of a life time. Footage can't be beat though. Big props.

[@timohara4077]

True, LOL

[@lynneleeluckdowsing6654]

I am in awe. Should this not serve to make us more humble, more circumspect?

[@robertmirolo3755]

Very brave to stand that close with all that was going on. I think I would have been running in the opposite direction.

[@rossmcconchie1316]

I don't know about Pele, but I think you've got dragons in that undergrowth...

[@jwarnes71]

I love it when people put up on KZbin videos that show what its like to actually be there and don't talk all over it and just FILM but pity about the camera mic hand sounds. Otherwise really good! You got to see the first lava cone up.

[@janebeckman3431]

Amazing and scary. Hope you had a respirator in case the wind shifted. Thank you for getting this boots-on-the-ground look!

[@slamhead]

Could you feel the earth rumble at all?

[@n10cities]

That sound is INCREDIBLE! Sounds like the bowels of Hell opening up!

[@michaeldomansky8497]

That's too close! Just one little variable change and you would be a Pop Tart.

[@timohara4077]

I was thinking the same thing, lots of adrenaline going on, Thanks for your comment!

[@conniee.]

I was thinking about if the wind changed direction and blow toward you ur toast unless you have a mask.

[@leoorduna2199]

This guy has balls of titanium.

[@DeborahLong7777]

Unreal catch boy your too close and bought gave me a heart attack!!! Once in a lifetime is right and God bless you

[@lookingforhope7628]

Hey Tim, they're reporting high levels of so2 coming from it, don't get to close.

[@josephastier7421]

Gutsy. You were actually standing there when magma found its way to the surface. No way to know if there wouldn't be an explosion, or if it wouldn't come spraying out in a hurry, possibly from unexpected directions. The wind could shift and you could suffocate in the gas. Very cool vid tho. Wow.

[@authenticadvocate]

Great effort Tim...

[@GetReady4LiftOff]

Wicked nails it, imagine what hell is. The smell, noise, heat. Sounds like a beast.

[@timohara4077]

Hey getready4liftoff, it's insane, funny thing it's not hell but just mother nature pulling from the bottom of the earth and making new land, it's a humbling experience, so powerful, crazy, glad you liked it, lots of adrenaline going on. Thanks Bro.

[@kristenkurbiec242]

Sounds like a dragon breathing. The Earth is breathing. Can't imagine how loud it was being right there.

[@hackedwapp2842]

Scary sounds like angry beast. Careful friends. My God.

[@bethanyking3248]

that sound it make oh my lord

[@Manidahoan]

Sounds like a Mighty "BIG" Dragon making those venting noises to me.

[@Angel-yl1ck]

Pele breathing. She isn't some little gracious lady, she is the Goddess of the Volcanoes. Hear her roar.

[@xxvavyguy4457]

At least we know it ISN'T Smaug LOL. Pele is at work here

[@LindaMenzies]

OMG!! :O !!! Whoa!!

[@renegade44040]

Get closer! Get closer!!! I want to see more.

[@Jeckyll859]

AWESOME!

[@LotsofStuffYT]

Fissure 17 became super explosive

[@timohara4077]

i was sitting there all night waiting for more action, glad I got tired and left, I may not be here to say that if I had stayed

[@arabellagreenleaf]

Terrifying.

[@chuckruot2586]

That’s sounds so scary. Wow!

[@putriscool]

I love this

[@timohara4077]

I'm putting together another one from last night 5/23. hang in there, I'm editing as we speak, more Lava sounds, Thanks so much.

[@jamespayne80]

Crazy howz close he is! If I didnt see any splattering Id probably try to get closer as well. My luck Id get killed cause I got too close lol!!!

[@luddeplayshd6510]

Is that the sound of lava underground?!

[@suethomas9446]

Wicked sounds. Watch out for those lava bombs.

[@carmenmasood8477]

That sound is so frightening to hear.

[@Skibidididy]

The floorboard creaks while i sleep, growing cracks leak with Red.

[@michaelnaretto3409]

There is no way in hell I would have walked out there.

[@suethomas9446]

Sound like a fire breathing dragon you can see.lol

[@barbaraalvstad8640]

Amazing but super close!!

[@LardGreystoke]

Sounds like Pele just needs to vent.

[@angelwacek5934]

How many dead frogs animals are on the island across them dead or still alive text me back

[@richardgoldman8761]

Trespassing on private property?

[@timohara4077]

no, owner was around

[@danielhunter34]

Be safe but more plz 😂 😂

[@timohara4077]

Thanks Dan, I have plenty more, I tried to keep it short, my editing skills are improving, still on that learning curve thing, I'll put more together for you in the next few days, Thanks for your comment!

[@88squirlz24]

Tim O'hara who needs editing skills with footage like this? The steam vents are a trip, especially with the accompanying sound they make. THANKS FOR POSTING!!

[@joette5333]

WOW-EEEEEEEE! CAUTION DUDE!

[@claudineiflorentino]

O barulho é assustador, ali está fumegando tudo, ate as goiabas vão queimar.

[@samantha850]

Actually sounds like a breathing earth

[@timohara4077]

It is and it is awesome, does it get any better? I hope so, I am doing my best. thanks!

[@samantha850]

Your doing great but be careful you don’t want it to be your last experience in life. But you have made me realize in this one short moment that our planet is alive other than my child’s first cry it’s the most amazing thing I’ve heard we need to take better care of it we’ve been poor stewards of this amazing place And make sure you have a respirator if your going this close maybe fire protection too

[@samantha850]

Tim O'hara You don’t know the relief and the joy of meeting your child for the first time. At that time all you care about is protecting them and the joy that they are ok and an unexplainable unconditional love

[@woabeatz9717]

Killawayo......

[@DebiSunset]

Does not sound like you have a gas mask on... 😯

[@raincoast2396]

Stop scritching, scratching, tapping, rubbing, the microphone. Very distracting from an otherwise good video.

[@timohara4077]

I know, I am just an amateur with my I phone and a go pro, I need to get a go pro stabilizer? My Iphone died and had to hold the gp in my hand, I hope to be better in the future, Thanks

[@raincoast2396]

A Go Pro is okay if you use an external mike such as a Rode, equipped with a wind sock muffler.

[@timohara4077]

I saw a guy with a gopro karma, he told me it costs about $400, been looking on Amazon and ebay, looked pretty cool. got to get rid of the shaking and noise

[@rimmonchu]

agree....

[@keithwallis9799]

Tim O'hara I can understand the shaking in those circumstances. That was crazy - it and you! ;-)

[@sarar3650]

OXIGEN PLEASEEEEE
