First Descent Into a Magma Chamber: Volcano Pictures

Amazing pictures. What is the website?

Amazing images - would be great to talk
to those who were the first to enter - pretty
brave if you ask me!

Those images are beautiful. They look like something you would see in a dream.

Reminds me of the movie
"Innerspace"

Nothing really special or anything we didn't know about. Just a tube made of rock but it looks great because of lighting.

that's awesome, never been in a volcano before.

Wow, this is awesome, thank you for sharing!

ITS ALL HAARP

Have you ever been to Yellowstone National Park?

Wow it looks beautiful in there. Like an earth mosaic. That would be a great adventure/tourist thing.

Bet there is tons of diamonds and gold near that thing.

Awesome thread, I love a good informative read. S&F for you sirs

This is the best thing I have seen on ATS all day.

It's amazing how we are able to explore such areas of the world.

It would be amazing to actually go down into the magma chamber. I'd love to be the one who went down there.

Great job OP

I assume by qualified volcano person, that what you mean is a volcanologist, or a geologist, preferably having a background in geophysical studies on sites of extreme tectonic or volcanological activity? I cannot say that I have come across such a person on these boards as of yet. Mind you, absolutely amazing pictures here on this thread, so hopefully if such a rare beast as a subject matter expert on the subject does exist here at ATS, you can bet this study will be of interest to them.

This actually makes me happy. Finally something amazing on ATS bedsides paranoia and depressing threads

It must be late. All I could think of looking at those pictures were I hope those men were virgins.

Supposed to feed volcanos beautiful virgins, not scientists. If they start erupting left and right, well, we'll know why.

Absolutely agree with you there. Of course, it has long been my understanding that part of denying ignorance means exposing the guts of the the beast which is human evil , to the air, letting the steam rise, and reading the vapours as they float up from the cooling corpse, figuratively speaking.
But I understand that along side the darkness, despair, suffering and evil that we observe as a part of that duty, there must also be beauty and glory, for without these influences, our understanding of mankind, the planet on which we live, and the galaxy in which it hangs, would be thoroughly flawed.
In this particular instance, I am impressed by several things. First and foremost amongst them would be the wonderment at seeing what amounts to the veins and capillaries of the world from the inside. The people who plumbed these depths, are effectively standing inside what was once, and may be again, the blood vessels of the world, the very system by which its heart blood reaches the surface, and makes the world anew over the generations. Just the mere thought of that is an utterly awesome prospect, and I would imagine that actualy being there would rock a man to his core.

Thanks for sharing.
It's beautiful and scary.I mean it need a lot of guts to go down there and but it's all worth it in the end.I can't even begin to imagine how those gentlemen felt descending.

S+F

outstanding.
Imagine being in there, it would be one of those places where you wouldnt be able to tell the difference between the serenity or how eerie it is.

amazing. Great post

there have been some pretty good post.

But yours made me laugh.

How true and how silly of those men.

Maybe in the video special presentation, they will show them giving up a girl or two to the volcano Gods prior to desending.
