Scientist risks life to collect lava

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-14184722

A scientist tries to get a lava sample from Mount Nyiragongo in Africa's Great Rift Valley, but gets too close to the boiling lake.

Ouch!

I've been up to the edge of an active crater in Indonesia but it was nothing like that, thank God!
