	Katia and Maurice Krafft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Katia Krafft (Mulhouse, 17 April 1942 – 3 June 1991) and her husband, Maurice Krafft (Guebwiller, 25 March 1946 – 3 June 1991) were French volcanologists who died in a pyroclastic flow on Mount Unzen, in Japan, on June 3, 1991.
		Maurice and Katia were known for being pioneers in filming, photographing and recording volcanoes, often getting within feet of lava flows.
		The work of the Kraffts was highlighted in a video issue of National Geographic, which contained a large amount of their film footage and photographs as well as interviews with both.

	Interview with Maurice and Katia Krafft
		Katia has seen twenty eruptions more than me, because sometimes I cannot go there, because I am making lectures and she is more free than me. So I make a complex of inferiority!(laughs) I think I may throw her in a crater next time to I can be Number One!
		Maurice : (continuing) What a fantastic in active volcanoes is...you know, a geologist, for instance, he works on Precambrian rocks or whatever, okay, on old volcanoes, and he tries to make a reconstruction of what happened.
		Katia : No, it was not possible for us the way we work From one hour to another we may have to go far away.

		As a volcanologist with the Geophysical Institute since 1970, I was very interested in investigating the situation on the ground.
		On August 28, I escorted Maurice and Katia Krafft, a French husband-and-wife volcanologist team, to the island by helicopter.

		The medal would also by implication honor Maurice and Katia Krafft.
		We are certain that the Krafft medal will be very warmly welcomed in the volcanological community, as it will recognise people who have made major selfless contributions or given great service to the community like the Krafft.
		We expect that Krafft medalists will usually be linked to humanitarian aspects of volcanology.
