Here is what Armadeep had to say about this photo: “These stairs lead to a volcanic ash protection bunker. In ash expelling emergencies, when people are not able to evacuate immediately, then these bunkers can provide temporary relief. These bunkers are not capable of protecting from lava expulsion. Two people tried many years back to test the bunkers ability to protect from lava flow, though the scientists at the base station advised them to retreat immediately. The heat from lava around the bunker, roasted them inside.” PicsArt Monthly | 63
