Demonstration of the Hot Earth, Timanfaya National Park, Lanzarote

The volcanic activity continues as the surface temperature in the core ranges from 100 to 600 °C at the depth of 13 m (43 ft). To demonstrate that, dry brush is thrown into a hole in the ground and it catches fire immediately. In another demonstration, water poured into a bore hole erupts seconds later in the form of steam - like a mini-geyser.
