Drones Sacrificed for Spectacular Volcano Video | National Geographic

What are some dangers of being inside an active volcano?

• Extreme cold and lack of oxygen

• Toxic gases and intense heat

• Strong winds and heavy rainfall

• Falling rocks and slippery surfaces

How did the team create a 3D model of the volcano's interior?

• They used satellite imagery and advanced computer algorithms

• They manually measured the dimensions of the crater with measuring tapes

• They processed thousands of photographs taken by drones

• They used sonar technology to map the underground structures

What was a challenge faced by the team when using drones to film inside the volcano?

• The drones ran out of battery too quickly

• The drones were too heavy to fly in the thin air

• The drones were lost due to extreme heat and unstable air

• The drones could not capture clear images due to smoke

Where is microbial life most likely to be found in and around an active volcano?

• Directly within the molten lava lake

• On rocks that have cooled to a habitable temperature

• In the superheated toxic gases above the lava

• Only on the very outer slopes of the volcano, far from the crater
