This is it.
I know. For me it's worth of.
At the same time, we should start covering all the routes and say..
Oh, wow. I am using contact with my camera.
Yeah, ok. You may be right.
Here we go.
Bring her back home.
It's the reason why I got into geology, to be in the field.
Combining the science and the lab work and the analytical work
with the field geology what is really all about for me.
These are not people who stay in their land.
These are people who really go out and look at things and see what's going on.
And that is no substitute for that.
That's why this place is so extraordinary.
This is the best place in the world to camp, literally.
This volcano below Santa Quito is a laboratory volcano.
It erupts every hour.
You can get up high and look right down.
What a rare opportunity.
It is a straight shot down the start, so when you stand on those
rocks down there, you would see the most marvelous volcanic phenomenon on Earth.
Did you hear anything in the night?
No, I slept.
I've heared a few things.
Boom. Eruption! It is an eruption!
Some risks for geologists..
As you see, are outside, in the outdors.
Let's face it. It is very difficult.
Volcanoes are mountains. For us it is job. Volcano is dangerous.
Not actually a mountain itself. The mountain is really dangerous.
These things are very unstable.
So you know.. It's not necessarily just gonna keep going up and up and up,
cuz they also gonna be collapsing, at the same time.
The hike goes through a little canyon, we know there's rockfoll.
Those rocks that we were rockclimbing, that was a great treaning as well.
You do things for a reason there is a payoff, right?
So you wanna go closer to the volcano because there are better data.
How we gonna go closer?
Or how we are not gonna go closer?
The problem is that a natural system sometimes behave nicely
and they tell you they are becoming critical.
Sometimes it is really difficult to tell.
In most places in the world it's not a hazard to the general population.
It is a hazard to volcanologists.
Who are going close to the volcano to take samples or to do some kind of measurement.
It's an impressive beast.
Yeah, that's wild!
I don't have any specific ideas.
That wasn't a volcano.
