PLAYING WITH FIRE

Photographer’s Description: Photographer on the edge of the crater at the erupting volcano in Fimmvörðuháls, Iceland (April 2010). While observing this photo I was amazed at how relaxed he was standing there while the volcano spreads the melting lava around the area. I guess the lava is about 1000-1200°C at this point.

 

Those brown leather pants are on fiyah!
