In June 2010, a team of scientists and intrepid explorers stepped onto the shore of the lava lake boiling in the depths of Nyiragongo Crater, in the heart of the Great Lakes region of Africa. The team had dreamed of this: walking on the shores of the world's largest lava lake. Members of the team had been dazzled since childhood by the images of the 1960 documentary "The Devil's Blast" by Haroun Tazieff, who was the first to reveal to the public the glowing red breakers crashing at the bottom of Nyiragongo crater. Photographer Olivier Grunewald was within a meter of the lake itself, giving us a unique glimpse of it's molten matter.

Dude, that's more of a boil than a zit...especially if it's still smokin'. :lol:  

Strat, post #4...can you post that link again? I couldn't quite make it out. :sorry:  :D

There's some pretty cool pics in your 1st link (the one I could make out ;D ). I have a hunch that Moparz may be a tad bit envious of this guy's nifty outfit, though...



I kept expecting to see the one last pic where that volcano did a big FART & wiped out the whole expedition. :lol: Maybe next year.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)
