The trip’s purpose is to install a wireless sensor network in one of the world’s most active lava lakes to monitor when the next eruption may occur, and gain real-time data to create early detection systems. The crew begun their descent on August 2, and have been sending Snapchat stories on the journey downward. GE is expected to stream on Facebook Live next Friday straight from the site of the volcano so curious viewers can ask more questions about what it’s like to descend into an active lava lake.
