Travel under the surface of the Earth with Street View

Street View transports us a thousand miles off its shores s, in the remote country of Vanuatu, an archipelago of 80 small islands, filled with lush jungle-like vegetation, pristine black sand beaches, and nine volcanoes.

From today on Google Maps, you can "travel" to the edge of one of larger lava lakes in the world, on the island of Vanuatuan of Ambrym. This Street View collaborated with explorers Geoff Mackley and Chris Horsly, who delved 400 meters into the active volcano Marum Crater, with Street View Trekker, collecting 360-degree photos of the molten lava lake, which is about the size of football courts.

Ambrym consists of 39 square miles of desert volcanic caldera that is home to two active volcanic cones called Benbow and Marum. But the island is also home to more than 7.000 people who live in the rainforest below the mountain. While the volcano has played an important role in defining their history, due to unpredictable eruptions and influencing agriculture and the environment, its inhabitants have learned to live in harmony with this beautiful but deadly natural phenomenon.

Moses, a leader in the local village of Endu, explains, “We believe the Marum and Benbow volcanoes are devils. If you go to a volcano you have to be very careful because the two volcanoes could get angry at any time. We believe that Benbow is the husband and Marum is the wife. "Sometimes, when they do not agree, there is an explosion which means that their spirit is angry and that is why we sacrifice a pig to the volcano."

As part of the route to , the leader Moses invites you to take a walk through his village and hopes he will inspire you to visit this sacred place that he calls home. After cyclone Pam a few years ago, the country has rebuilt its infrastructure. Now Moses and his village are ready to welcome visitors back to Vanuatu to taste his stunning beauty and learn about his cultural traditions.
