Journey to the centre of the earth - LIVE Friday 18 December Amazing video looking straight into the furiously boiling lava lake made after an insane solo night descent 1200feet right into the lava lake pit at Marum Volcano on Ambrym Island, Vanuatiu... Myself, Gareth Hawken, Bradley Ambrose and Daniel Lacy are camped on top of Marum Volcano, a howling gale and heavy rain set in just after the helicopter dropped us up here and we have been confined to the tents for 4 days. Visibility is near to zero. 2 days ago I descended 400m (1200ft) to the bottom of the pit to rig ropes and jumaring back up an exausting 3 1/2 hrs with the others assisting from the top with a makeshift pulley system in rain and darkness. (below) Bad weather has now set in again even worse than before ... Thur 17th, both equipment tents are trashed in overnight high winds and torrential rail, otherwise we are all well.
Video Rating: 4 / 5
