Kayaking By An Active Volcano
Extreme kayaking normally involves white water, feisty rapids, and the occasional soaking, but on the Brazilian TV programme Kaiak, they also plonk themselves at extreme destinations.
The pictures below are taken just off the coast of the Hawaiian island, Kauai.
These kayaking maniacs got perilously close to the Kilauea volcano and took some striking shots. Obviously, the temperature of the lava is an obvious risk, but they also had to be mindful of the poisonous gases coming from the steam.
During their trip, they scouted multiple waterfalls across four islands, but this has to be the most extreme part of the voyage.
Kilauea is the most prolific of the five volcanoes that make up Hawaii. Its name means “spewing” or “much spreading” in the native tongue. It makes me nervous just looking at them.
