(某某某某2012高三上期末考试)Nicaragua’s Cerro Negro Volcano has erupted 23 times in the past 100 years, burying homes, crops and people in lava and ashes. But recently the black mountain has bee a tourist draw, thanks to a newly invented extreme sport: volcano boarding.
Thousands of thrill-ekers have climbed to the top of Cerro Negro, peered into its mouth, then zipped down its rough-and-rocky 41-degree slope on special boards. The volcano-boarding speed, t by an Israeli woman, is 54 mph.
“Rushing down an active volcano is something that people expect.” Said Anthony Alcal
de, an expert volcano boarder. The sport was developed in the mid-2000s by Darryn Webb, an Australian who had climbed the nearby Cerro Negro but was looking for a faster way to get to the bottom. He tried sliding down on surfboards, snowboards, and even a refrigerator door before inventing a sit-down board made of plywood.
“At first, Darryn planned to u a snowboard,” said Gemma Cope, a British woman who now runs Big Foot, which offers volcano boarding tours. “But he realized he couldn’t cut an edge for there were little rocks everywhere. So he came up with the sitting-down option and realized he can go pretty fast. ”
Tourists, who are nearly all foreigners, pay $28 for the experience, which begins with a truck ride on dirt roads to Cerro Negro. a 2,400-foot—high volcano that last erupted in l999. Visitors must carry their boards during the half-hour climb to the top. There, they go straight down the slope and sometimes they have to u their feet for brakes. Along the way, the board fills with rocks and dust, making boarders almost blind. Crashes are mon. “I wiped out twice and ripped my pants.” said Melinda Vorik, a tourist from Miami. “But I
’d do it again.” Another tourist added：“It was sheer terror. I was eating dirt. But how many people can say they’ve bombed down a volcano?”
