More than a thousand miles off the coast of Australia is the remote country
of Vanuatu, an archipelago of 80 tiny islands—brimming with lush green
jungles, pristine black sand beaches, and nine erupting volcanoes.
Starting today in Google Maps, we invite you to join us on a journey to the
edge of one of the largest boiling lava lakes in the world on the Vanuatuan
island of Ambrym. To get inside the active volcano, we partnered with
explorers Geoff Mackley and Chris Horsley, who repelled 400 meters into the
Marum crater with a Street View Trekker collecting 360-degree imagery of
the journey down to the molten lava lake, which is roughly the size of two
football fields.
