Can you really swim in lava?

Best Answer

No. There are 3 reasons.

  1. Lava is extremely hot, and falling in lava would result in certain death.
  2. Lava is dense, about the same density as rock, so you would not sink in far enough to swim.
  3. Lava is viscous, so ignoring the first two reasons, it would be like trying to swim in molasses with the most fluid lavas.

No. Even if you were to somehow become invulnerable to heat, lava is too dense and to viscous to swim in. It is liquid, but it is much thicker than water.

How far did you swim?

It really depends on what kind of a swimmer you are. If you can swim really well, you can probably swim really far. If you can't swim at all, you won't swim very far. I hope this answers your question.

Does lava really glow?

Some types do. Really runny lava, or hot lava, like Hawaiian-type lava, does glow because it's so hot (like when you heat a piece of metal). Really viscous (sticky) lava, however, has a solidifying skin on top because the lava has cooled down. It's sort of like custard (except custard never glows)
