Has anyone fallen in lava?

Art Carter, a famous volcano photographer of the '50s and '60s, was apparently so unlucky that he fell into a lava tube three times during his career — including one occasion in which he collapsed 12 feet through a freshly formed, too-thin crust of lava not long after a Puna volcano eruption.

What does lava smell like?

A bit like hot metal, say a soldering iron or a hot stove, a bit like regular stone, say a pile of dry gravel or concrete mix. Sometimes, especially right near the vent, there's sulfur gases mixed into the lava, in which case there's a strong sulfur smell, like overcooked hard-boiled eggs.

What would happen if I touched lava?

Lava won't kill you if it briefly touches you. You would get a nasty burn, but unless you fell in and couldn't get out, you wouldn't die. With prolonged contact, the amount of lava "coverage" and the length of time it was in contact with your skin would be important factors in how severe your injuries would be!

Can lightning create lava?

Volcanic lightning occurs during an eruption, when hot ash particles rise into the air and rub against each other. The heat and friction create a differential in electric charge that sparks a strike. The lightning zaps in and out of the thick plumes of rising ash, making the ash so hot it sometimes turns into liquid.

Is lava hotter than the sun?

Lava is indeed very hot, reaching temperatures of 2,200° F or more. But even lava can't hold a candle to the sun! At its surface (called the "photosphere"), the sun's temperature is a whopping 10,000° F! That's about five times hotter than the hottest lava on Earth.

What do you think is inside the volcano?

Inside an active volcano is a chamber in which molten rock, called magma, collects. Pressure builds up inside the magma chamber, causing the magma to move through channels in the rock and escape onto the planet's surface. Once it flows onto the surface the magma is known as lava.
