Volcano Stock Footage
Living Letters Productions has documented the entire eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano in Montserrat. If you represent a production company, we can send you time-coded copies of the best of over 300 hours of archive footage.
Tape 1 covers the images from the start of the eruption in 1995, including the first steam vents, phreatic eruptions, evacuations and the beginnings of dome building.
Tape 2 covers 1997 to 2005, with all the massive eruptions, pyroclastic flows, narrow escapes, mudflows, (lahars), the buried capital city of Plymouth and the rebuilding of the north of the island.
Our images have been used in over fifty programs broadcast around the world on the Discovery Channel, TLC, Nova, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, National Geographic Channel, the Travel Channel, BBC, Channel Four and stations in Japan, France, Germany and other countries around the world. Some of the, “danger zone”, segments have aired on Maximum Exposure, Real Video and Worlds Most Amazing Videos.
Our own productions are the nine-volume Price of Paradise video series that has now been compiled into the DVD “Memories of Montserrat” and the educational DVDs titled, “Montserrat’s Andesite Volcano” and the children’s DVD, “Volcano Island”.
