    First of all these people are crazy getting that close to that lava lake !! But wow those photos are breath taking, not somewhere I would want to get too close too though. 🙂

    Magnificent! (Of course once the boy’s and girls from Health and Safety saw these pictures the scientists and there teams were immediately put on unpaid suspension until the result of a Board of Enquiry!)
