Organic waste dumping in the lava lake of Arte Ala volcano caused an eruption (YouTube/Photovolcanica)
You don't see a video like this every day: a man threw an object into a "dormant" volcano and "woke up" it when it caused the lava inside it to erupt. In the video, two people can be seen standing on the edge of a high cliff and one of them throwing an unidentified object into a crater as the object makes its way down and then hits the layer of crust that covered the boiling lava. The lava slowly began to erupt and the flames began to erupt.
At first it was quiet lava, but the pressure intensified as the small hole the object made widened and widened and within seconds. The volcano became very active and all this because of the object thrown into it. It turns out that all this was part of a study that wanted to find out what would happen if a person fell into the lava from a great height.
Watch the amazing documentation
According to some reports, what was thrown was a 30kg bundle of organic waste (similar to human physiology and would elicit the same reaction) into Arte Ella, an active volcano in Ethiopia, to simulate what would happen if a person fell into it.

The creator of the video wrote that "the question of whether it is possible to sink into her heart is often discussed. Due to its high density, the person is usually expected to remain on the surface. It is even possible to walk a short distance on certain types of lava if wearing professional heat protective clothing. However, this video shows that when falling from a height, a large object (and a human) can penetrate the crust of the lava lake and dive into it."
The video also explained that the experiment was carried out using a cardboard box filled with waste from the camp (such as food scraps thrown away) weighing 30 kilograms measuring 60x60x60 cm, and the object was thrown from a height of about 80 meters.

Oh, the conclusion is that the lava is thick, dense, and very viscous—about 100,000 times more than water—and there's a good chance that a person falling into it will float before sinking. Not that it's too relevant – because it will die within seconds of the heat – lava temperatures are at least 700 degrees Celsius and can reach as high as 1,200 degrees.
