Extremely dangerous lava surf photography


CJ Kale is reportedly the first person ever to photograph lava entering the ocean from the surf, swimming near the scalding water and avoiding lava bombs just a few from where he was standing. Needless to say, the risk of dying is huge but his photographs are awesome. In 2011, he feel into a 20-foot lava tube while shooting the Kilauea Volcano and shattered his ankle. Here's a video of him taking these photos in the water, a few feet from the lava.
