While the team sleep the superheated molten rock in the lake churns and boils spilling over the rim
When Nairagongo last erupted
in 2002 nearly
400,000 people in the nearby town had to be evacuated
because when near Nairagongo erupts
There's no way to outrun the lava
Nairagongo's lava can flow at over 60 miles an hour faster than any other lava in the world
Next morning and the lake is calmer
Darío sees another scientist reached the bottom of the crater
It looks like he's going for the ultimate prize; a sample of lava straight from the lake itself
It is dangerous in my opinion it is a little crazy
I mean I wonder that
The special suit he wears will deflect some of the incredible heat at the lakes edge
But it'll do nothing to protect him if he comes into direct contact with the lava
It's very very close
Okay, it's just there really few centimeters
It's just on the ring oh
Oh my god come back
tomorrow come back
Lava begins to bubble over the rim of the lake
Darío believes the scientist is taking too big a risk I kind of agree
The lake is becoming more active lava surges over the edge
The lava lake is now overflowing in three different areas
very strong exactly where it was
five minutes ago
Later that day some perhaps more sensible scientists collect samples from the crater floor
