This is why it’s best to stand away from a volcano that’s filled with hot lava. <br /> <br />Cameraman Bradley Ambrose won’t be repeating the mistake after getting sprayed with molten rock when he got too close to Ambrym Island’s Marum lava lake, in Vanuatu. <br /> <br />‘That was probably my closest call ever to being completely covered in lava bombs,’ said the New Zealander, in a YouTube video of the incident he posted last Sunday. <br /> <br />He added: ‘I was filming on the edge when an extremely large pulse of gas just came out and caused a huge lava splatter that basically covered this entire area. I was in the middle of it. I just ran. <br /> <br />‘There’s not one shot that’s worth that so I’m going to back off and get some more protective gear on.’ <br /> <br />Mr Ambrose’s bravery is admirable – but perhaps he should film from a safer distance next time, considering the lava in the volcano peaked at 800 degrees Celsius.
