into the boiling, volatile mouth of a volcano?

if you're planning to put on your protective

gear and dump a bucket of liquid nitrogen

Before you could even get close to the mouth

So you'd have to be a little more creative.

which are basically giant  holes in the Earth's crust.

They're full of boiling hot magma that  can erupt outwards in the form of lava.

Actually, "boiling" is an understatement,

because lava can reach  temperatures of up to 1,200°C (2,192° F).

On the other hand, you have liquid nitrogen,

the smoky-looking substance that  most people have heard of, but

If we want the liquid nitrogen to have a noticeable impact on the volcano,

we're going to need millions of liters of the stuff.

No big deal. Large masses of liquid  nitrogen can be produced commercially,

and all we'd need to transport it would be

vented and insulated containers  to prevent pressure buildup.

when you'd try to put those millions of  liters of liquid nitrogen into the volcano.

The idea is that you'd fill each cannonball with liquid nitrogen

and blast it into the mouth of the volcano.

When the cannonball melts due to the extreme heat,

it will release the liquid nitrogen into the magma.

Yeah, we realize this is getting ridiculous, but hey

Once a few cannonballs reached the magma,

there would be a deadly brew of heated nitrogen gas

floating its way up and out of the volcano,

gobbling up all of the oxygen around it as it rises.

The liquid nitrogen might be able to freeze the surface lava

but that still wouldn't be a very exciting effect  for you watching from outside the volcano.

Now, if you were somehow able to line up thousands of nitrogen cannons

and continuously fire copius amounts of liquid nitrogen into the volcano,

then things would start to get interesting.

more than just the surface lava would start to freeze,

and immense pressure would build up underneath.

there would be kilometers of lava  slowly making its way to the surface.

Its natural flow would be stopped by the frozen top layer.

All that pressure would need to go somewhere.

The surface lava would, at this stage, look like a crumbling black sidewalk,

slowly being elevated as lava pools under it.

The volcano would erupt, sending jets of atmospheric pollutants skyward,

pollutants that could affect any living creature in the vicinity.

Or the volcano might even explode, causing an earthquake.

Essentially, you'd be creating an induced eruption.

A blocked vent is what causes volcanic eruptions,

So maybe you should just keep the liquid nitrogen far away from volcanoes,

and put it to better uses, like culinary experiments.

Maybe there's a delicious dish waiting to be discovered

by mixing liquid nitrogen and lava together,
