Reason
I find the quality of this video to be outstanding. Also, the EV is great. It's probably the most famous volcano in the world. Having footage of its eruption is almost a blessing. Also, have fun clicking on the times I've indicated in the caption to hear the detonations one after the other, and you'll discover that they sound very different.
