Scientists experimentally established what will happen to a person who has fallen into the pole of the volcano (video)

Scientists have long been interested in the question of whether a person is able to survive at the surface of the volcano. Some of them claim that there are some types of lava lakes, according to which a person dressed in professional heat -protective clothes can walk for a while. Others believe that having got into such a lake, a person will simply burn on its surface. “Thanks to his high density, a person will most likely remain on the surface,” the Daily Mail quotes the researchers.

However, what will happen to those who accidentally fall, and not go down to the burla of the volcano, still remained a mystery. That is why the researchers decided to conduct an experiment. As the place of its conduct, Erta Ale volcano was selected in the northeast of Ethiopia, which is a lake with an area of ​​600 square meters, filled with boiling lava: the temperature of its surface reaches 600 degrees.

The role of man was a 30-kilogram package with garbage, which volcanologists dropped from 80 meters, said The Herald Sun.

According to researchers, the package was supposed to remain on the surface. However, instead, he pierced the crust and plunged into a hot lava. This proves that when it enters such a fiery lake, a person will also drown in lava.
