为什么这个火山这么特别 这里还有个原因

And to see that, I need to get down into the crater

要明白这个原因 我需要下到火山口

and see the lava up close.

近距离的观看熔岩翻滚

-Sit back,sit back.-After,after.

-放松，放松-往后，往后点

Okay.

好了

That's it. That's good.

就那样，不错

It's close to a 100-foot drop to the terrace below.

I've waiter until sunset to take a closer look

我要一直等到太阳下山才能近距离的观看

because the lava is at its most spectacular at night.

This is as close as I can safely get.

Oh,wow.Look at that.That is magnificent.

噢，哎呀 太壮观了

I mean, It's taken us a hell of journey to get here,

我们经历了地狱般的路程才到达这里

But that makes it all worth it.

但是完全值得

I am standing on the edge of an active volcano,

right next to a big pool of molten lava.

What makes this lava lake more than just pure spectacle
