Forget snowboarding, these daredevils have found a MAGNA-ificent way to stay active this winter – by sledging down an ACTIVE VOLCANO.
The extreme sport, known as volcano boarding, sees thousands of thrill seekers race down the Cerro Negro volcano in Nicaragua, Central America each year.
Wearing little more than a jumpsuit and goggles for protection, daredevils can careen down the 726m high ashy slope in less than 20 seconds at speeds of up to 60mph.
Using specially constructed plywood boards as make-shift sleds, thrill seekers hike to the top of the volcano – which spews out hot gases – before making their exhilarating 500m descent to the bottom.
