What it’s like collecting lava from an erupting volcano
Hear from a volcanologist what it's like to list "scooping up hot lava" as just another normal part of her job.
Hiking to an erupting volcano is one of National Geographic Explorer Arianna Soldati's favorite parts of her job. As a volcanologist, she gets to travel the world to see some of Earth's most powerful forces when they're the most beautiful yet destructive. Hear what it's like to experience the sights, sounds, and smells of an active volcano firsthand and how demystifying their behavior can help us better coexist with them.
