Our gadgets
are being advanced and modified everyday by modern technology to boost the
experience received by the user. But there are certain phenomena like weather
conditions, cannot be competed with.
But, are
they actually being unable?
Erik Storm,
an environmental exploration guide of Kilauea EcoGuides, a tour group based in
the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, has left his GoPro on the slow flowing path
of lava in spite of the high heat and pressure, the device has been recording!
Since he
was aimed at capturing photos of the fiery madness, he has left his camera in a
small crack, but the camera was engulfed by the lava. Eric noticed lava
consuming his device which was in a safety case.
He had
discovered that the SD card was being protected by the lava and the GoPro had
filmed the complete scene.
He stated:
“I used a
geology rock hammer to pull it out of the lava and thought it was a total loss.
Not only had most of the camera survived, but it had managed to record
everything and was still working.”
As per the
details given by the GoPro company helpdesk, the majority of the cameras shut
off when the operational temperature increases upto 125 F (51.7 C).
Luckily,
this incident has gone beyond the concept this time!
Have a look
at the following photographs:
Actually
the camera is not operating as usual, but amazingly it was not destroyed by
lava. The plastic casing has ensured the safety of the camera to survive from
the high temperature during the period.
Eric
stated:
“The camera
even still worked although not as well as it did before.
Truly
amazing it survived!”
