As magma explodes at the bottom of a crater on the South Pacific island of Ambrym, explorers Irène Margaritis and Franck Tessier prepare to descend. They and two climbing companions will trust life and limb to the caving techniques they have adapted for exploring volcanic slopes covered with sharp, loose, blast debris and riddled with steam vents.
