In 2001, NASA satellites scanning an uninhabited island near Antarctica in the South Atlantic Ocean detected a thermal anomaly that left scientists reeling. Deep inside an unexplored volcano, they detected the signature of a bubbling lake of molten rock. Only seven such lava lakes were known worldwide.
The successful ascent finally occurred in November 2022 and"was years in the making," Nicholson said. Besides getting a glimpse of the lava lake, the mission's objective was to collect data to improve models of volcanic activity. "The way the wind wraps around the island creates a little oasis of calm within the ocean, so we sailed through this wall of cloud and suddenly the volcano opened up in front of us," she said."It was the most magnificent moment."
