The volcano’s lava was boiling in a large crater, and the impact of the object broke the hardened crust, causing the lava to violently spew upwards.
Initially, small lava globules were ejected, but soon the volcano’s surface began to pulsate and expel large quantities of lava, turning the calm lake into intense turbulence.
This test was conducted by researchers interested in understanding what would happen if a human fell into a volcano, breaking the surface crust and creating a hole in the lava. Instead of using a human, the team used a box with organic waste to simulate the situation.
