The Most Incredible Volcano Video of All Time
It's not the first time that Geoff Mackley gets so close to a volcano. Back in 2010, he almost killed himself. But this one is even closer and crazier than his last stunt. In his own words:
Geoff Mackley, Bradley Ambrose, Nathan Berg, after an epic struggle with the weather for 35 days, we became the first people ever to get this close to Marum Volcano's famed lava lake on Ambrym Island, Vanuatu. Coming within 30 metres of the lava lake down a watercourse, it was possible to stand the heat for only 6 seconds. With Fire Brigade breathing apparatus and heat proof proximity suit it was possible to stand on the very edge and view the incredible show for over 40 minutes.I wonder why there are no close ups from his point of view, however. I guess you can't get a GoPro anywhere near here without it spontaneously bursting in flames. [Thanks Oscar!]
