Bottom-right. Yeah. That’s a dude.
Okay, so maybe Geoff Mackley didn’t literally visit Hades, but he did the next best thing. He and a couple buddies put together a homemade heat-resistant suit and went and hung out beside Vanuata’s famed Marum volcano lava lake for around 40-minutes. How long could a person survive so close to the lava lake without a specialized suit? Oh, around six seconds.
Needless to say, this footage is kind of f–king insane. Hit the jump to check it out…

Here’s the money footage of Geoff hanging out right next to the hell lake.
Hit the second page for a longer video that details the rather treacherous journey Geoff and his friends went on to reach the lake. Also, footage of him very close to the lake without his heat suit on.

That is insane, but more importantly did he get any super powers after jumping into a freaking lava lake? (elephantitis of the balls doesn’t count)
That’s cool and all but I woulda brought marshmallows.
I would have gone all out and brought smores, but then I’m a dreamer.
S’mores would’ve been extreeeeeeme!
The close-up shots looked so surreal they feel like they’re green-screened. I know they’re not but, still, holy fuck.
Yeah, I had to check around to make sure this wasn’t fake. The second video makes a convincing case for it all being real.
This video will prove invaluable in the exploration of what it means to have enormous balls.
Jesus H. Christ, I can’t even use aluminum foil to wrap my food without it tearing. Hell if I’m going to plunge into a volcano with it.
