Volcano expedition

The Most Incredible Volcano Video ever shot ! 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.

Wait a min..

10:05 "The lava is probably 30 meters away and its just the most incredible heat. Theres nothing to describe it. Nothing on Earth. It's like looking into the sun"

Nothing on Earth? How about looking into a lava pool of a volcano?

#5 Admittedly, describing things is not his forte. I would call it an awesome sight, if we hadn't collectively utterly destroyed the meaning of the word by using it everywhere. But then someone who had never experienced awe (hard/sad to believe) wouldn't have a clue of what I was on about.

#4 Oh goodie, we'll be neighbors. Can I borrow your lawn mower? I like to keep the lava beds trimmed.

videos like this remind me of something - it's a staggering fact that we live on a very thin film of hardened stone and liquid water - between a deadly hell of lava and a deadly hell of empty space.

Wait! It's a pointless video.
all those work to reach the edge and not a single shoot?
at 6:14 he stay "naked" on the edge and then at 7:48 whit his super suite he stay spotting the lava and nothing more.
Come on, some scene looks like a eighties photomontage.

For this, for that and someting else, I declare: FAKE! :O

...Not for a million dollars! If that volcano had made just the tiniest of farts, he'd be dead.
