Drones Sacrificed for Spectacular Volcano Video | National Geographic
Video technology and science converge on an active volcano in Vanuatu, where explorer Sam Cossman operated camera-mounted drones to capture high-definition images of the spectacular yet dangerous Marum Crater. Cossman and his team piloted the drones over the 7.5-mile-wide (12-kilometer) caldera while confronting toxic gases and boiling lava. Although two drones succumbed to the harsh environment, the team was able to bring back video and photos that will help scientists learn more about the volcano and the life around it.

Fascinating, but when you advertise "DRONES SACRIFICED" I expect to see the sacrificial video of the drones falling into the lava. Please provide that.
I believe then the footage is gone with the drones.
Ghassan Younis I don't think they were streaming high-def feed off the drones, to heavy, much more expensive hardware to feed the volcano.
fozzibab I concur. Don't tell me. Show me.
fozzibab Agreed!
Ghassan Younis yes of course they think about the probability that a volcano eats their drones so they spend more money on the drone to make a live transmission possible just to watch it die.
We want the sacrificial footage. Misleading title!
Stupid video.
I misread it and came looking to see clones being thrown in
GoldenYuri ...a superficial title warrants a superficial expectation.
@@goldenyuri3556 ok, lemme destroy u. First, why am I here? Because of documentaries. So that isn't something for stupid people? If you are smarter, then me something about superposition, Higgs boson, gamma rays, and neutron stars?
no such thing as want that, idts
I was here to see drone suicide. A bit disappointed.
I'm very disappointed...
@@cheryldahl9192 my day is ruined
@@suprisedabraham1711 I dont think i will ever trust again. My life is ruined.
Extremophile microbes are definitely an underrated lifeform. Imagine being able to live inside a volcano. Very cool footage!

As long as there's even a tiny bit of liquid water anywhere, you're absolutely going to find something in there. Life's crazy

This video should be titled "Drone films people standing near a volcano".
Lmao

"you have every force down there trying to kill you" The volcano is just being a volcano, nobody is trying to kill you.
leave it to a couple smolepokers to overdramatizzzzzzze thingsssssssss
Typical american victim...
@@dexter131 they should attack it, *wmd*volcano, send it some freedom and democracy
@@notacoffee5819 victim's don't attack or defend themselves, they want mother government, or anyone else to take care of it for them - that's why they're victims.
What About The Lava Goblins ?
I can't believe they're going to the edge of that thing and standing there. They could have a rock slide at any time.
@Jacob Muller well that's one way to go I suppose
Now that would've been fun to watch watching them slide in
@@godofdeath1826 👀
Oh so scary and frightening, indeed. No can do this one!
anything for thumbs up.
My expectation - a video of drones instantly melting... I didn't get that. And yet, I think the video is wonderful.
no, its not
@Jack Hanson f off i dont have a drone or a volcano
😂 I thought the same.
@@DemeDemetre then make a paper volcano and a plastic drone and then film it.
@@syed6102 how do you make a drone?? its not possible
Was expecting to see drones fly extremely close to the lava, and then fall in. Dissapointed, but still really awesome!
+ByteMe ikr
+ByteMe They did, that's why they don't have footage, it fell in the lava!
+Crooked cat haha, I think i'm loving you!

pinalo2009 love ya too hun
Fantastic, well done but i would have liked to have seen the crashing drones especially into the lava.
yes

So much clickbait! :P
Anyone else disappointed that we didn’t get to see the drones falling to their demise or drone footage of the lava lake REALLY close up?
Yes, me!
Yes.

He knew, deep in his heart, that the cameraman never dies. 🔥
some of the most breath taking footage I've ever seen!
Less talky, more showy. They all convey the same info in every volcano show ever made. I'd love to just sit there & watch volcanos bubbling away with no other background noise.
+M Halvaresh I agree. They hype this footage and then show us very little of it. It clearly was done for National Geographic but there have not been any new dvd releases in a couple years on this topic. If they can't show the footage here, let us know where we can go to really see it. Otherwise, talk about a lot of hype with no payoff.
Nat geo used clickbait?!
Good
I wish i could throw a lil stone to the crater
I wanna throw a cheerio 🤔
I wanna throw a baby
I wanna throw the guy who thought the volcano was trying to kill them.

Thanks for this excellent footage, now we can have a close look to see how volcanos actually look like!! More amazing than how amazing they already are!!
Isn't there a chance that this volcano could erupt while they're there?
absolutely...but they are Americans...and being American makes them impervious to any danger
Americans will do anything they think is a bad idea
@@youknowlag8445 true
Volcano eruption is a slow process, its not instant like those kindergarten experiments! It would take about an hour or a day to erupt.

They said drones were destroyed from extreme heat. Thanks for share:0

Esto es fantástico saludos
Not what I came here to see..
I came to see the crash
How did they get the footage before the quadcopter crashed?
Footage is being saved in real time to an external drive.
You saw a massive lava lake up close?
Tryinglittleleg live footage
Thanks for these incredible views that couldn't be possible without your dedication and courage to show us how amazing this planet is! 🌎🌋🔥😎
The video must be titled: "Dron films people almost sacrificed by a volcano" !!
I clicked on this to see a drone plummet into lava. I did not see that.):
yeah yeah me too
what'd you expect tho lol the intense heat from the lava would've melted all the important functioning parts of the camera on the drone way before it actually plummeted into the lava

WOW...The first seconds of this fantastic drone video,I left speechless by the mightiness and beauty of this Volcano crater...It contains something very deep and mystical at the same time...
Never seen anything more beautiful in my entire life
God is great, how amazing is God's creation
The first time i see a drone and a gopro used for something meaningful... not for recording shity bike-tours or other crap!
Watching the Earth's happenings is cooler that looking at human activity :)
+Hamairo Namakita Mostly because we don't see that kind of stuff all the time because of how dangerous it is to be in such places.
+AntiKoerper5 lol so true
+Hamairo Namakita hmm is it cooler? i think its hotter :D ok no.
AntiKoerper5 first time? haha
Thank you for all your work guys, these shots are fantastic!
Wow That was some video footage. Thank you. your awesome bravery. We would not see anything of this had you not been brave . You rock.
These amazing and unimaginable splendid scenery are the gift of God These wonderful scenery are comfortable to the eyes and the mind
"You have every force down there trying to kill you". Thank god the volcano did'nt have a gun.
but the lava goblins did

One of the most amazing things I've seen in my life
I can imagine the drone in the lava, holding up its fan like a thumb. Terminator style!
*Talks about losing drones into the lava pool below* *doesn't show any drones crashing into lava pool.* Disappointed guys.
I love volcanoes.
Incredible video Thank you for sharing *****
Me too👍😂
***** You are AMAZING! I love you, your videos, and your posts!
I live on the volcano😂
Damn girl you're everywhere even Nat Geo lol
Hi Everyone Unbelievable video 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
thank you for your service
That lava lake is mesmerizing. I could watch this all day long.
That was amazing!!! Thanks guys for coming up that close to the crater. It was really amazing to see how the volcano works under, it was so awesome and wonderful like i can't imagine how much more violent that lava could be deeper down. I hope we discover a material that can withstand that heat and make a drone out of that so we could see the earth down to its very core. Who knows? Those lava, like the ocean in the surface, also has a floor and there's an even more violent force under that that's not lava anymore. Hmm...or what if there's really no center? Because our planet is actually infinite, like there's a worm hole deep down there that transmits us to a different dimension. Haha. I'm having so much imagination and fiction here because of the video. It was really wonderful. Amaziiiiinggggg!!!!!!
Thank you National Geographic. Many thanks for your useful video. See you in your next great successes.
Perfect place for next Red Bull cliff diving😂😂😂 After this you will definitely have your wings🧚🏼♀️🧚🏻
Please take the data and make a VR experience.
that would be amazing
Pretty amazing shot of an active volcano, even though i expected to see more done flying into the volcano.
R.I.P drone, you will be ever in our memories, may your sould rest in piece🌹
I hope you can make a whole video of this. FASCINATING.
If the dude in the suit accidentally fell in and was submerged in hot lava, I hope he's have the wherewithal to go down with his hand being the last thing to sink in, giving a thumbs up.
+intrnlprym84evr He wouldn't sink in. He'd cook like a Thanksgiving turkey, all of his juices preserved in his little foil outfit.

7 years late but still relevant. Good video
man. I was waiting for the sacrificial offering of the drones. never happened!
Incredible just to grasp ☝️million X more energy that we can imagine comes out constantly as we think from our star .mi viejo sol🌞 !!!!!
thank you national geographic... perfect timing of shots of the boiling lava...?
Awesome footage thanks
The lava is not trying to kill anyone! It is where it is! We, the human, are in its way! Thanks for this amazing and beautiful video clip!
Drone lives matter
This is so cool!
I really enjoyed the 2 seconds of video of the drone inside the volcano.
I got really shocked seeing these men closer to the center of the volcano. So brave. It is really terrifying.
would it be possible to produce lots of electricity from volcanoes somehow?
Yes, it's possible...but not economically viable yet. Oil is still "cheap". Geothermal powerplants it's their name.
Look up geothermal power.
Anton V. They do in Iceland
Geothermal

Wow.. amazing... MasyaaAllah.. la Haula wala quwatta Illa Billah...

Incredible footage that was able to be used in a number of ways. I wouldn't want to be standing as close as they did to the lava pool, alittle on the hot side. Im sorry that none of the drones survived but were sacrificed for our knowledge.
amazing !!!!
Fantastic!!!

I'll tell ya... Those volcano drone sacrifices are a sight to see!
It is amazing how many videos are there now on KZhead about this crater and sadly the very few acknowledgements of the first footage made and reported by Geoff Mackley quite a few years ago.
Expected a video about worker bees with tiny cameras mounted on their little stripey backs, flying into a volcano for science. Titles can be so misleading.
Even the earth has a heart and its really alive and beating!!
These guys get to close to the edge when it can give away at any moment gives me the woollies.
Still amazing since my first comment on this video three years ago!!
Really?? You commented here before 3 years ago?? You still remember that?? Are u serious??
I climbed this with my girlfriend last year. Was a particularly active day. Was the most fantastic experience of my life. My girlfriend was utterly terrified however and to this day I still get "I climbed a volcano for you, you do the dishes" Still totally worth it. We were almost flattened by a piece of superheated rock the size of a piano. Landed less than 20m away. The radiating heat was insane. It was at that point my girlfriend begged for us to go somewhere safer. Not long afterwards someone was pretty badly injured sadly. Still, there were the local guides taking us up there while wearing thongs. They are tough motherfuckers.
@@mirapatel8715 Sadly we are not, ended in flames haha. Will always have great memories like this to remember the good times though!
This is such a cool story. I wish to be there one day, thanks for sharing!
R.I.P. Drone, our hero.
RIP Drone 😢😔 Your Sacrifice will be remembered.
What happened to him?
Thank you so much for showing this type of interesting video ❤️of volcano
Chuck Norris just walks down to the bottom and lights his smoke off the lava.
Chuck Norris fears Bruce Lee.
Of course he does. But he knows his fears are there just to keep him sharp so no one can ever be his equal
lol
mikecat23 I didn't know you can light ''smoke''...
mikecat23 the volcano got lit from Chuck's cigarette
Impresionante 👌 un gran vídeo .. qué furia de Fuego y cuánto dañó va hacer ..pobres gentes.
Extremely extraordinary!
back in the good old days, people just jumped in with a camera and threw it back just before they landed in the lava.
This is a misleading title. Where's the video footage of drones being destroyed? That's what the title says technically.
The Title of this video shouldn't include the word 'sacrificed' but rather 'being sacrificed'. Huge difference.
hola realmente buen video desearía que prosigan haciendo videos similares... Voy a continuar mirando sus creaciones. Les mando un saludo nos vemos pronto 🤞🏽👍🏽
This video would definitely be more satisfying if the drones fell in
Mismatch Tittle!
"title"
What's a "tittle"?
im breaking his drone then kicking this guy in the nuts after watching this video!
its the thing you sucked on as a baby!
wrong
Deep in the valley of the shadow of death comes forth life! the spewing and churning of a new world in the making!.
Invaluable data for the scientists..can be obtained just from real nuttheads like these ones. All my respect for them, goes beyond bravery. Incredible risk rate. Wow! Ciaoo
YOU WERE MY BROTHER ANAKIN
FROM MY POINT OF VIEW YOU HAVE THE LAVA GROUND
We wanted to see the drone footage of the drones falling into lava. Not a 3-minute video of a lava pool that has been documented dozens of times already.
IKR! Seems even NatGeo not above the odd click-bait title. Interesting film tho anyway.
