View of lake voui on May 28, 2006. Image courtesy of Esline Garaebiti from the Dept. Geology, Mines and Water Resources in Port Vila, Vanuatu. This colour change is suggesting a rapid evolution in the redox state of the lake waters that could be linked to an evolution of the SO2/H2S in the hydrothermal fluids.

Eruptions are sorted in order of the last update on VW (The most current updates are at the top of the list).
