Wow. You gotta have a pair to climb down and get this close. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAxj2ob_JoU
I had to google, "vulcanologist die pyroclastic flow" to get info on the husband and wife team [Maurice and Katia Kraft] that died while doing research. They were not nearly as close as what's in the above vid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katia_and_Maurice_Krafft Quote: |
Katia Krafft (Mulhouse, 17 April 1942 – 3 June 1991) and her husband, Maurice Krafft (Guebwiller, 25 March 1946 – 3 June 1991) were French volcanologists who died in a pyroclastic flow on Mount Unzen, in Japan, on June 3, 1991. The Kraffts were known for being pioneers in filming, photographing and recording volcanoes, often getting within feet of lava flows. Their obituary appeared in the Bulletin of Volcanology, (vol. 54, pp 613–614).
| I hope there won't be a repeat.

It's the Marum Volcano on Ambrym Island.

It is the outgassing of sulfur dioxide [high temperatures], hydrogen sulfide [low temperatures], carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and lots of other noxious gases that either kills by caustic corrosion or displaces the oxygen in the immediate atmosphere and suffocates.
The intense heat also burns off oxygen in the crater and it is displaced by the other gases.
Unless they have SCBA gear, they are incredibly foolish. |

Also another thing to consider is the related suggested videos on the right, UFO videos and bad ones at that? I don't think you'd be just hanging out in a volcano, there are projects and experiments to be done and get out asap. Also the first pictures they are climbing in no gear.
Don't always believe what you see on YouTube.
