Haroun Tazieff, the Polish scientist, has spent his life-time studying active volcanoes and deep caves in all parts of the world.
Haroun Tazieff, ðə ˈpɒlɪʃ ˈsaɪəntɪst, hæz spɛnt hɪz laɪf-taɪm ˈstʌdiɪŋ ˈæktɪv vɒlˈkeɪnəʊz ænd diːp keɪvz ɪn ɔːl pɑːts ɒv ðə wɜːld.
In 1948, he went to Lake Kivu in the Congo to observe a new volcano which he later named Kituro.
ɪn 1948, hiː wɛnt tuː leɪk Kivu ɪn ðə ˈkɒŋgəʊ tuː əbˈzɜːv ə njuː vɒlˈkeɪnəʊ wɪʧ hiː ˈleɪtə neɪmd Kituro.
Tazieff was able to set up his camp very close to the volcano while it was erupting violently.
Tazieff wɒz ˈeɪbl tuː sɛt ʌp hɪz kæmp ˈvɛri kləʊs tuː ðə vɒlˈkeɪnəʊ waɪl ɪt wɒz ɪˈrʌptɪŋ ˈvaɪələntli.
Though he managed to take a number of brilliant photographs, he could not stay near the volcano for very long.
ðəʊ hiː ˈmænɪʤd tuː teɪk ə ˈnʌmbər ɒv ˈbrɪljənt ˈfəʊtəgrɑːfs, hiː kʊd nɒt steɪ nɪə ðə vɒlˈkeɪnəʊ fɔː ˈvɛri lɒŋ.
He noticed that a river of liquid rock was coming towards him.
hiː ˈnəʊtɪst ðæt ə ˈrɪvər ɒv ˈlɪkwɪd rɒk wɒz ˈkʌmɪŋ təˈwɔːdz hɪm.
It threatened to surround him completely, but Tazieff managed to escape just in time.
ɪt ˈθrɛtnd tuː səˈraʊnd hɪm kəmˈpliːtli, bʌt Tazieff ˈmænɪʤd tuː ɪsˈkeɪp ʤʌst ɪn taɪm.
He waited until the volcano became quiet and he was able to return two days later.
hiː ˈweɪtɪd ənˈtɪl ðə vɒlˈkeɪnəʊ bɪˈkeɪm ˈkwaɪət ænd hiː wɒz ˈeɪbl tuː rɪˈtɜːn tuː deɪz ˈleɪtə.
This time, he managed to climb into the mouth of Kituro so that he could take photographs and measure temperatures.
ðɪs taɪm, hiː ˈmænɪʤd tuː klaɪm ˈɪntuː ðə maʊθ ɒv Kituro səʊ ðæt hiː kʊd teɪk ˈfəʊtəgrɑːfs ænd ˈmɛʒə ˈtɛmprɪʧəz.
Tazieff has often risked his life in this way.
Tazieff hæz ˈɒf(ə)n rɪskt hɪz laɪf ɪn ðɪs weɪ.
He has been able to tell us more about active volcanoes than any man alive.
hiː hæz biːn ˈeɪbl tuː tɛl ʌs mɔːr əˈbaʊt ˈæktɪv vɒlˈkeɪnəʊz ðæn ˈɛni mæn əˈlaɪv.
