Mount Bromo, Java Island, Indonesia. One of the most beautiful volcanoes in the world Mount Bromo is active, but nevertheless attracts tourists, pilgrims and adventurers. This time the mountain was visited by the Red Bull Skydive Team. They have traveled to Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park to complete a rather dangerous mission.

Of course the participators have waited for Bromo to erupt and then they have put on their wingsuits and jumped out of a plane above the active volcano crater.
