Thrill-seekers have a new reason to be happy.
Volcano-surfing, a new kind of
extreme sport, is growing more and more popular.
Phillip Southan is the young owner of
Green Pathways Tour, the company that organizes
volcano surfing sessions on
Cerro Negro, one of Nicaragua’s most active and dangerous volcanoes.
Dressed in protective gear, adrenalin-junkies climb 726 meters up
Cerro Negro and slide down on specially-built plywood boards. Southan admits there is a chance the young volcano could erupt, but says the biggest danger is the
volcano surfers might fall off the board and injure themselves.
The
volcano surfing tour has only been around for 4 years, but 10, 000 people have already participated.
