Daredevil Climbers Scale Active Popocatepetl Volcano

This is the moment a group of foolhardy climbers come face-to-face with Popocatepetl's crater after risking life and limb and ignoring warnings about the active volcano's regular eruptions and toxic emissions.

The clips were filmed at the top of the central Mexican volcano and shared on social media where they have been viewed nearly 100,000 times.

In the footage, one of the daredevil climbers says: "Friends, we are on the crater! 32 degrees below zero and we are still here!"
