WATCH: Nik Wallenda’s Walk Across Masaya Volcano’s ‘Mouth Of Hell!’

American daredevil and high wire artist Nik Wallenda walked across the Masaya “Mouth of Hell” Volcano without a safety net on Wednesday.

Wallenda walked across a one-inch cable that stretched 1,800 feet over one of the most active volcanos in Nicaragua. Tons of viewers watched as the seventh-generation scion of the “The Flying Wallendas” family of aerialists. The daredevil battled the poisonous gasses, intense heat, wind and the threat of molten lava below in the volcano. The complete trip lasted 31 minutes and 23 seconds and was chronicled on ABC’s two-hour special Volcano Live with Nik Wallenda. It was the 41-year-old’s longest and highest stunt to date.

Cameras were able to capture every detail of Wallenda’s journey, from the crevasses on the highwire to close-ups of sweat dripping down his face. During the daredevil’s dangerous walk across the volcano, the acrobat wore a gas mask and goggles in order to protect himself from the fumes being expelled. Yet halfway through his walk, Wallenda decides to take off his goggles due to the amount he was sweating and the heat was fogging his vision. His gas mask was also losing position on his face. It was sliding to the left and getting into his mouth, preventing him from breathing properly.  After the walk, Wallenda smiled and he blew kisses into the air as he prepared to be unharnessed.

“It was everything that I sort of expected, certainly prepared for, but the winds were, as we knew, they were unpredictable,” Wallenda said in an interview with ABC moments after his walk. “There was a time when I was taking a step and I felt like I got knocked back and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I hope I get my foot back around there in time.’”

This stunt apparently has been on Wallenda’s list for about six years, as he told Fox Business on Thursday. The volcano, nicknamed “the mouth of hell,” has an active lava lake in its crater that reaches roughly 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit and It is reportedly one of only eight volcanoes in the world with such a lake. it has been over ten years since the last time Masaya erupted, which was in 2008.
