Volcano 1923

Star Item

Description

No title.

Panning shots of smoking volcanoes and of moving lava. The cameraman seems to have got pretty close to this plopping undulating hot stuff! Very short segment with no intertitles. Would guess it to be early 1920s.

British Pathe captured many extraordinary events on film over its 80 year history but sometimes the cameras were switched on when tragedy struck.
