Never really considered what would happen if a boulder rolled into moving lava, but the internet is a great place to learn about things that don’t really have any practical use in real life, right?

@moniekamp on TikTok posted a video of her rolling a boulder into a stream of flowing lava in iceland, and the results are pretty surprising.

I mean I know lava is hot as hell, but hot enough to melt a solid boulder in a matter of seconds? Call be stupid, but I had no idea…

Can we please get more of these videos? I want to see a variety of things thrown into lava to see what happens now. Can lava melt steel beams…?
