The Yasur Volcano

01.01.2010

The Yasur Volcano found in Tanna Island is a famous tourist destination. The volcano is active year round, and tourists have no problem getting there. According to the Smithsonian Institution, in 1774, the volcano was discovered by Captain Cook, and it looked like a beacon night. However, most scientists believe that the volcano was created by the pressure under the earth crust. This pressure caused the earth to push the magma upward, which eventually exploded. The cooled magma actually became part of the volcanic rocks that are found around the rim.
