First view of the lava lake in the south crater in the early morning of 16 Jan: the lava lake stands at its rim, ready to flow over... "We approached as close as 4m from the lava lake edge just observing a lava surface waving (30cm in amplitude)" (Richard).
Approaching the rim of the lava lake was extremely difficult due to the intense heat and the need to walk on barely hardened fresh shelly pahoehoe with thin crusts that often ´gives in when stepped on. (Photo: Paul Reichert)
