As you hike a mile-and-a-half from the road towards Thrihnukagigur volcano in Iceland, crossing the relatively young (and therefore dramatic) 10,000-year-old lava fields, you're left quite unprepared for the depths you'll have to plunge in order to reach the floor of the magma chamber.

Why was he "quaking in his boots"?  It's a tourist feature, hence all the scaffolding and lights, get real, no actual danger apart from tripping and falling!  Obviously MSN reporters have problems with the real world!

Terrible photography by the way!
