Volcano - how close we got!'s by eirekay

San Vicente Pacaya - Guatemala, Escuintla We were a couple of feet from one of the smaller flows. The wind was blowing fairly hard, creating a bazaar mix of hot and cold and at 8,500 feet, the surrounding air was a little chilly.

Standing a few feet away was odd though because the wind was cold, the clouds were damp yet the vapors blowing off were hot.
