killamch89 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 If you had to pick between two adrenaline-packed adventures, would you rather be a volcano surfer or an ice climber? Volcano surfing promises fiery rushes and molten excitement, while ice climbing offers the chill of frosty challenges. Which thrill calls to your adventurous soul?

The Blackangel Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 (edited) After considering a few things, I would go for the ice climbing. My body is intolerant of heat and if the temp gets much above 65° to 70° I pass out. It's not until I can get taken somewhere that is colder than I come back around. So while volcano surfing sounds like a blast, I would just prefer being conscious while having that kind of thrill.

Reality vs Adventure Posted April 18 Share Posted April 18 The way I see it, the cold suppresses the arteries and blood flow, which suppresses adrenaline. Being around a volcano, your veins are dilated, arteries dilated and pumping, adrenaline in full force. I will go with volcano surfing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcano surfing sounds like a disaster waiting to happen although an avalanche can also occur during ice climbing but you have a better chance of surviving that. Imagine volcano surfing and then the volcano suddenly decides to get active lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) I will go with the volcano surfer. I am built in a way that I can feel more comfortable with heat than the ice and going to the ice is more like asking for a death sentence. It is never going to work well at the end of the day.

People rarely survive an avalanche. The force of the snow hitting them isn't much different that a wall of concrete hitting them. If they're not immediately killed by that, they usually tend to suffocate under the snow. Edited April 21 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, you're not going to survive a suddenly active volcano either. Between the toxic fumes and incredible heat, you'll die quickly.
