Extreme videographer James Reynolds traveled to Paluweh volcano in eastern Indonesia in late February. Battling foul rainy season weather, he and his party managed to climb to the top of the volcano, where they were afforded less than an hour of clear weather to shoot the lava dome. James says that the whole island was being shaken by hundreds of strong earthquakes as magma within the volcano forces its way to the surface. These earthquakes also caused avalanches on the sides of the volcano as James filmed.
