This is some drone footage from filmmaker Devon Massyn of the underwater volcano Kavachi in the Solomon Islands erupting. It’s pretty wild. And the sound! The volcanic activity heats and expands nearby water so quickly it’s the equivalent of a hot tub full of water instantly expanding to the size
A-ha’s ‘Take On Me’ — a solid 80’s banger with an even more solid (denser?) music video. And this is a video of French bardcore band Courseval performing a cover of the song with medieval instruments along the River Seine. I could drink warm ale in my local tavern and
