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.

For those of you "upset" with the use of a watermark on this video it may pay to consider for a moment that my expeditions are funded by the sale of such footage.
This expedition took nearly 2 months and cost many tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention the dangers involved.
As has been seen time and time again, there are many media organizations out there who think nothing of downloading peoples footage, re uploading to their own websites with adverts etc while others pay for the legitimate use of it. Its straight out theft.
Thanks to the viewers who understand why I have to deface such a good video with a watermark."

it looks like footage from a video game ?

whats with the little character on the rock?

Looks fake.

Not fake...here's another pair of numnuts....Maurice and Katia Krafft

that dude really loves volcanos. imagine if he got splashed!
i was always dissapointed at volcanos.. they never looked like you thought.. like something to throw gollum in

Is it real.......?

I'm sorry but if the earth is spewing up molten lava your not going to stand and film it are you?

I think volcanoe's generate huge heat .......would the camera's not melt?

I remember seeing a volcano eruption years ago and everyone basically had to run for their lifes

I think it's the ash that kills not so much the molten lava

If it's real footage those guys are nutters for standing and filming it

i think its perspective dawn. that lava is probably a good distance, and hes all wrapped up in foil

It's spectacular, but that man must be insane!

I hope he remembered to butter & season that foil, Bats - a bit of lemon & parsley in his suit, & he'll be ready by now. Yummy!

Thanks for the heads up Gilly, and huge apologies to you Martg...I had no idea you had already posted the vid as it's in a section of SZ I have never ventured into until now.

I don't understand the connection between a documentary on the war in Affghanistan and this particular film footage though...guess I had better go read the thread and watch the other vids to understand.

there is no connection, ignore the thread, it's crap

You're not invisible, Mart. I enjoyed the vid when you posted it yesterday - that's why I thanked you for it.

Hey you!...thanks to you and Gilly I will peruse the recommended reading forum now.....that hardly qualifies you as being 'invisible'!
The 'invisibles around here are the ones who have signed up...never to be seen again....cowards!


Jane

sorry, having a bad day
just found out the one person I thought was a real friend is just another user
I didn't mean to take it out on you

It really is a great video, I don't think it's fake either, people can get surprisingly close to lava flows
and the video makes it hard to judge just how close they are.

Cheer up Mart, things could be worse....you could be a newspaper editor !
Have a laugh Mart, we can all have a laugh....

Ohhhhh martg...have an etheric you're amongst 'friends' here.
And funnily enough, I didn't think you were being serious when you called 'fake'...thought you were getting it in before anyone else did!
