Although George Kourounis, the adventurer responsible for the television series Angry Planet, is well known for extreme adventures, he really heated things up this time. (Sorry.) The good stuff starts at 1:10.

Joined by Sam Cossman and guided by adventure filmmakers and lava lovers Geoff Mackely,
Brad Ambrose and Gareth Hawken, the team willingly dropped themselves
into the Marum Crater, an active lava lake on the summit of the Ambrym
Volcano in Vanuatu, an Oceanian island nation located in the South
Pacific Ocean.Kourounis even took a moment to snap one of the most dangerous and epic selfies of all time.
