About the Actor
Maurice and Katia Krafft studied and photographed erupting volcanoes all over the world, witnessing and documenting more active volcanoes than any other investigators. Their popular books, lectures, and videotapes -- all done in their exuberant style -- greatly increased public awareness of the nature and dangers of volcanic eruptions. Ironically, they were killed by a hot ash flow while photographing an eruption in Japan in 1991.
