Thrill-Seeking Kayakers Paddle Across an Effective Volcano

Extreme sports expert photographer Alexandre Socci associated expert kayaker Pedrolati Oliva and his group (including kayakers Ben Stookesberry and Chris Korbulic) as they made the decision to take on the strong ocean around Kilauea, a dynamic volcanic on the southern east mountain of Mauna Loa in south-central Hawaii. As opposed to a common water adventure, though, the group kayaked together with moves of melted lava as it streaming down the gushing volcanic.

Originally in Hawaii islands to movie the newest sequel of their Brazil TV system named Kaiak for Route OFF, Socci informs us that the group didn't really know what to anticipate. He recounts the day for us:
"We got out of bed at 3:30 AM to be in the harbor at 4 AM and get there at 5:45 AM, before sunrise, to get the best light to see the lava and the kayaks on water. We got there and for the first 20 minutes we were just looking at everything and trying to figure out what to do... then Pedro decided to get on his kayak and go for it.... We didn't expect that."
"As a water photographer myself I was trying to get into the water but it was impossible, the water was about 90 degrees Celsius and there were lots of lava particles floating that could burn anything in seconds... even the kayaks came out of the water with some 'scars' from the floating lava!!!"
Socci's amazing pictures say it all as the fantastic melted stone can be seen oozing its way into the water just a few legs away from the daredevil kayakers. Like a landscape directly from an interesting activity series, the place is loaded with stunning vapor, curly ocean, and warp speed lava. Actually, Oliva even captured one of his oars on flame due to its contact with the lava moves. As a cautionary concept, he says :
 "I hope people don't see these images and think that it is safe to paddle so close to the lava because really it's not safe at all."

Witley Park’s Underwater Ballroom

Between Godalming and Haslemere, in Surrey, near the English village of Witley, once stood one of the most lavish private residences in the world —the Witley Park. Originally called Lea Park, it belonged to a man named Whitaker Wright who made his fortune by defrauding shareholders of hundreds of million pounds —not once, but twice in two different continents. At the peak of his financial crimes, Wright bought the vast 1,400-acre Victorian estate from the 15th Earl of Derby and built an extravagant 32-bedroom mansion, among other things like a racecourse, a theater and a private hospital.

11 Foot 8 Inches: The Infamous ‘Can Opener’ Bridge

At 11 foot 8 inches, the Norfolk Southern–Gregson Street Overpass, located in Durham, North Carolina, United States, is a bit too short. The federal government recommends that bridges on public roads should have a clearance of at least 14 feet. But when this railroad trestle was built in the 1940s, there were no standards for minimum clearance. As a result, trucks would frequently hit the bridge and get its roof scrapped off.
