A Volcanic Morning in Papua, New Guinea
by Chris Dixon
This morning, Dr. Shelley Hendel, an Australian field pediatrician with Australia’s Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies program snapped an astonishing photo of a eruption of Mount Tavurvur in New Guinea that has thus far sparked evacuations and rerouted flights, but caused no deaths. Hopefully things will stay that way.
Hendel tweeted her morning view to the world.
