Safty at ERTA ALE and DANAKIL: After JAN 2012 incident with killed tourists at Erta Ale, a military unit has been based at Erta Ale to protect tourist groups at the volcano from the base to the top. This makes the volcano visit as safe, as it has never been. The volcano Dallol is still visited with military company. Details (klick)
MAYON 2013: An unexpected phreatic eruption occured at the philippian strato volcano Mayon, causing approx. 5 climbers dead and some injured. Mostly german volcano hikers are under the victims. We know, phreatic eruptions aren't predictable. However, a quite rare hazard to be caught in.
