Is this the gateway to Hell? Daredevil photographer travels to edge of 150-ft wide active lava lake named after Satan's kingdom

Czech photographer Karel Tupy visited Ethiopia's Erta Ale, the world's oldest continuously active lava lake.
He tells of the overwhelming heat of the lava as he captured daunting scenes of the 150-ft wide basalt volcano.
