Lava-ly jubbly
Rubbish dumped in volcano...
to find what would happen to a human
Hot stuff ... molten rock destroys bag of rubbishBy MATT QUINTONPublished: Today at 16:46THIS amazing video shows a bag of rubbish falling into a lake of lava - as part of an experiment to find what would happen if a HUMAN tumbled in.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4394130/Rubbish-dropped-in-volcano-to-find-what-would-happen-to-a-human.htmlThe clip, taken at Erta Ale volcano, Ethiopia, shows a group of enthusiasts dropping the bag over 250ft on to the molten rock.
The surface of the lava is covered in a solid crust - and can actually be walked over with the right equipment.
But this team wanted to discover whether a person falling from the top of the peak would break through the crust.
The sack, filled with food waste to give it a similar make-up to a person, builds up enough speed to smash through.
As the intense heat, which can be up to 1200°C, burns through the contents, the lava starts to bubble and shoot high into the air.
