Check out this cool lava lake!

Here's a lake you wouldn't want to go swimming in.

The lava lake at Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano reached an exceptionally high level on September 10, the U.S. Geological Survey said, giving stunning views of magma spattering from it. It's the first time that the lava lake has been visible since 2015.
