If science fairs and "Lord of the Rings" movies have taught us anything, it's that you should probably stay away from erupting volcanos. That's not what these brave hikers did though as they journeyed along Volcan Acatenango in Guatemala, getting some absolutely gorgeous footage during their trip. There was no real danger, but the volcano did erupt during their entire adventure.

Drone Melts While Flying Over Erupting Volcano

Sometimes you have to make sacrifices to get that perfect shot. Gardar Olafsson did just that when his drone flew over the Fagradalsfjall volcano in Iceland as it began erupting. While he captured breathtaking footage, the drone itself melted just a little from the intense heat. The drone is still kind of usable, but the upside is we can safely experience what it's like to fly over a volcano from the comfort of our homes. View Now

Elephants In Trouble

Elephants In Trouble

This first elephant is in trouble because it's the one causing the trouble. It marched into a village in India and began ripping through the wall of a building. To retaliate, the residents threw firecrackers at the poor creature in an attempt to scare it off. Eventually, it wandered away. Over at Oldonyiro Community Conservancy in Kenya, three helpless elephants were trapped in mud and couldn't get out on their own. Rescuers hauled each elephant out of the mud with a tractor. After some time on solid ground, each elephant was able to recover and stand up on its own. View Now
