Ol Doinyo Lengai: watch the strangest volcano in the solar system spew black lava 

minecraft stone :)

Oh, that's a little terrifying. Between the relatively low temperature, the viscosity, and unusual colour I think it'd be easy to assume that was just a muddy geyser.

Gneiss Name sent me here!

400-600 C is VERY cool for lava, a commercial oven could reach those temperatures. Sodium and calcium carbonate, is this basically a molten salt volcano? On a semi-related note, I heard a guy once fell into a pool of this lava and though he suffered severe burns, managed to crawl his way out, giving him the dubious honor of being the only person to survive being submerged in lava.

I camped inside Ol Doinyo Lengai back in 2001, 2002 and 2004. Fascinating volcano! It glows a dull red at night similar to the glow of an electric stove.

I admire scientists who respect the spiritual importance of things like volcanoes to other cultures.

Makes a bit more sense that Minecraft lava can be picked up in metal buckets now haha.

Finally someone discovered Minecraft stone in real life

Minecraft Stone

Ok so its basically some kid's bi-carb soda volcano but actually real

That’s how Minecraft stone was created

Can someone please put it in a bucket

I wonder how these people are reacting to the factor videos. Getting traction because of a Minecraft video!😂😂😂 To be fair, it was a very geologically sound Minecraft video.

minecraft lava to put in a bucket

Amazing.

This is just ridiculously cool. Literally, I suppose, given the (for lava) low temperature. Still wouldn't recommend touching it!
