For the first time in history scientists have descended 650ft into the magma chamber of a volcano.
These incredible images show one explorer gently lowering himself into the heart of the dormant Thrihnukagigur volcano in Iceland.
Known as a 'sleeping volcano' because it could come back to life at any time, Thrihnukagigur is credited with helping to create the Atlantic island we call Iceland when it last erupted 3,000 years ago.

NO FLASHLIGHT

I can only love those dark hills
because I live in the day.
I can only see the mountain
because I live in town.
I only (claim to) love night
because I have only smelled it.
Actually living in the night means not talking about it.
I can only say 'no flashlight'
because once I accidentally forgot it.
Actually living in the night means actually walking
in the dark, means
to find caves in song.

UNDERWATER RIVER



In the cave Cenote Angelita, Mexico.
30 meters deep, fresh water, then 60 meters deep – salty water and under me I see a river, island and fallen leaves…
Actually, the river, which you can see, is a layer of hydrogen sulphide.
