Pyroclastic flows in Whites Ghaut in daylight (28 - 31 Jan 2010)
A big pyroclastic flow in White's Ghaut covers the entire dome.	A spectacular column of billowing ash dwarfs the trees in foreground.	The column from the last flow rises above earlier ones.	The impressive flow front: dead trees at bottom right give the scale.
The two-hundred-meter wide pyroclastic flow quickly advances towards us.	Meanwhile, billowing ash hides the entire White's Ghaut.	A small surge on the Eastern shoreline of White's Ghaut at left.	The dead trees at bottom left were burnt by a previous flow already.
The flow stops and a strong wind suddenly depresses its front.	Billowing ash continues to rise from the entire pyroclastic flow.	Wide-angle view of another flow running down the dome's NW flank.	As it stops, the strong wind drags billowing ash to the west.
A pyroclastic flow in the warm light of sunrise.	The flow front engulfs all the blocks in its way.	The flow stops.	Ash and steam from the incandescent flow deposit.
