Not sure why anyone would do this...but the footage is pretty neat.

George Kourounis stood at the edge of a red-hot lava lake, fiery molten rock gurgling just feet away as caustic acid rain splashed his protective suit.
It was a "window into hell," he said. "Dramatic and violent."


Kourounis is an explorer and documentarian, and last month, he and fellow explorer Sam Cossman dived deep into the Marum crater, located in an active volcano in the archipelago of Vanuatu in the South Pacific -- and the fearless duo brought cameras in with them to capture their momentous adventure.
(Watch the astounding footage, taken with a GoPro, as well as with a Canon 5D Mark III camera and a Sony NX Cam, in the video above.)
"Going down into the crater of Marum has been a dream of mine for many years," Kourounis told The Huffington Post via email. "It was exhilarating, to say the least."
