This is the sight that awaited us at the top. Lava. Molten rock. MAGMA.
8,373 feet above sea level. Last eruption 2008.
The temperature of the lava was approximately 2500 degrees celsius (4500 farenheit) For a comparison, pizza ovens operate between 500 - 600 degrees farenheit. The surface of the sun is 9950 degrees farenheit. ( We had to look that up. We have never been to the sun.)

This is the path that leads to the top. It was at least a 30 minute walk.


After an hour and a half horse ride,we turned a corner to find this view of Volcano Pacaya!!!!!



Dulas was one of the kids at the worksite on Wednesday.



DeWayne Malpass throws a stick into the lava.
