Jason II measures the temperature of the sulfur pond (187°C, 370°F) and then takes a sample of the molten sulfur with a homemade ladle made from a coffee can attached to a long pole. By the time the can is lifted to take a look at it, the sulfur is already solidified. Video courtesy of Submarine Ring of Fire 2006 Exploration, NOAA Vents Program.
