Lengai2004 Before and After

1 and 2 July 2004. The first 75% of the video was taken on 4 July 2004. There was a platform across the T58 vent. (see at the 24 second mark of the video.)The platform had an opening about 10 feet wide and can see the lava lake below. Around 2000 on 1 July, ~ 30 square meters of the lava platform collapsed into a huge underlying lava lake. On 2 Jul we saw an opening that used to be the platform the night before. If any of the expedition members were on that lava platform at the time above they would have been killed instantly. At 54 second mark shows the lava lake the next day. This part was taken on the rim of the vent. The platform earlier in the video is no longer there.

@Brivixxycej8 It's not hot enough.

Why isn't the lava incandescent?
