“Holy smokin’ toledos!”
Australian tourist Philip McNamara captures the moment Mount Tavurvu erupts, sending shock waves through the clouds before it reaches his boat.
How the vessel manages to stay upright is a miracle, given the sound of the blast that comes across in the video.
It really is one of the most staggering things you’ll see captured live on video.
The explosion happened on August 29th but Philip only uploaded the footage this weekend. Needless to say, it already has over 2.6 million views.
