Imagine that you are
floating in the kayak on the water at 50 degrees, and somewhere close by with a
loud hiss in the water flowing molten lava of an active volcano. Do you
think this is a terrible nightmare? A team desperate for paddlers from
Brazil is just working life. Why not make that a good film?
Pedro Oliva
from Brazil swims just meters from the lava of Kilauea Volcano on the Hawaiian
island of Kauai. He was part of an expedition to study the little-known
routes for kayaking. (Alexandre Socci / Barcroft Media)
But Pedro just
swim a little - he decided to get out of the boat and explore the coastline on
foot. He even felt the heat of lava (700-1000 º C) on its oars.
The group,
which studied all day lava coming down a 60-meter cliff, floated on the water
temperature reaches 50 º C.
If you omit the
hand in the water, you can get burned.
This group was
filming the last part of the TV program "Kayaks", which is a
Brazilian channel.
During a trip
last month they explored four islands - Big, Maui, Kauai and Oahu.
They sailed
through the 300 waterfalls and rivers.
Hot lava flows
down the slopes of Kilauea Volcano into the Pacific Ocean.
Daredevil Pedro
Oliva swims next to the lava.
"One of
the greatest dangers were poisonous vapor that appears when the lava in contact
with water. You could hear the sound of sizzling lava. "
It was
something unforgettable "- say kayakers.
