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.

  • @johankoss1 Does the lava have anything to do with him sufficating?

  • @datchiklykcas shut the fuck up no body wants to here your religion bullshit.

  • @mager258987

    Yeah! It's obviously Mordor, Sheesh... Everyone knows that.

  • @dhiraj9302 Are you really that fucking stupid? I'll let you find out for yourself.

  • were is this?

  • Damnit, I want VIDEO, this is not an art gallery.

  • were is this?

  • @datchiklykcas Oh for the love of the fake deity you worship. STFU! Go play old testament somewhere else and let the scientific minds of youtube enjoy this vid without your constant spouting of religious bull crap!!!

  • The crater is quite awe inspiring. To think all that was just blasted outwards!

  • @datchiklykcas Please.. Think for yourself and look at the scientific evidence. Theres proof of why these sort of things happen, yet not even proof can alter the faith of those too blind to think for themselves? Keep your beliefs to yourself, people who believe in god are entitled to that opinion, but those who don't believe don't want it shoved down their throat, or even hear it mentioned while enjoying a video that, frankly, has nothing to do with your religion at all...
