Garbage Disposal in a Volcano - Neatorama

[YouTube Clip by Richard Roscoe of Photovolcanica]

Campers in Ethopia threw a bag of garbage into a volcanic crater to see what would happen. The bag broke through the thin crust covering a pool of magma and allowed the lava to spew out. And, of course, the garbage was incinerated. No word on whether they were fined for littering. -via reddit

Holy cow, I'd no idea it would be that vigorous. It would be kinda embarrassing to destroy a whole town just because you threw two bags of garbage in.

I didn't see it stated anywhere, but it's possible this process takes all day.

actually, they each have an AMNH employee hovering over them the entire time they're outside, making sure no one touches them or they dont eat the wrong thing. I suspect they determine when it's time to go outside

Also, they walk surprisingly fast.
