Title – On Top of the Tuvurvur Volcano
Date – August 2001
Location - Rabaul - Papua New Guinea
The top of an active, unmonitored and unregulated volcano that sends columns of smoke and ash out on a daily basis, is no place to go without making sure you have a good plan in your head and have told others of these plans. Take advice from locals and don’t put yourself at any more risk then you have to.
When you find yourself on your own on the rim and look down into the abyss, you will never feel as insignificant, but don’t fight, the fear it’s a good thing. Fear provides the little voice in our heads that helps us make a sensible decision and move as soon as we get any indication the volcano doesn’t want us there anymore.
Planning a trip can be a daunting prospect, when you start to look into potential destinations there seems to be hurdles to jump at every corner and the warnings and bad luck stories abound. Sometimes you feel like staying at home, might just be the smart move. Beyond The Blue runs Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop to help you overcome these hurdles and to break down the fears you may have and put them into perspective. In short we’ll help you get on your way with confidence.
