Watch as a rock thrown off a cliff awakens a volcano

(August 23, 2022) Afar Region, Ethiopia - Two Researchers stand at the lip of a huge pit, a massive drop leading down to boiling hot lava before them. One of them throws (NOT A ROCK) a box filled with organic waste weighing about 30kg (66 Pounds), which plummets down the pit before hitting the bottom and breaking through the crust of the lava to leave behind a hole, from which flames immediately flare out of. The whole thing was a test by researchers who wanted to work out what would happen if a human being fell into lava from a great height. They conducted the experiment at the Erta Ale volcano in Ethiopia, a continuously active basaltic shield volcano. With lava being pretty dense, a person falling in would be far more likely to float rather than sink, although for the unlucky individual the difference would probably be irrelevant as they'd be dead either way. Obviously they weren't going to use a real person because throwing test subjects into volcanoes is a nightmare to clear with health and safety, and also because murdering people is wrong. Instead, the intrepid researchers used a box filled with organic waste weighing about 30kg (66 Pounds) to take the terrifying 80 metre plunge into the lava. They believe the sudden awakening of the volcano and the violent expulsion of lava owes much to the steam produced due to organic matter falling into the volcano. Full Article:

Now watch this

Late at night: at that precious moment, 🏃‍♂️ I would be running for my life. 😰 But taking a selfie is more important.📸
