In this beautiful and slightly haunting photography we see a lone fisherman out on the water as Tavurvur, an active volcano near Rabaul in Papua New Guinea, releases plumes of ash and pumice into the twilight sky. Mount Tavurvur is the most well known volcano in Rabaul caldera, and has erupted as recently as January 2009.
