The high-wire stuntman, 41, traversed the mouth of the active Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua
Wallenda’s amazing feat was aired live as part of a two-hour special on ABC, which placed him across an 1,800-foot stretch of tightrope above a lava-filled lake in the vent below.Ahead of the walk, Wallenda spoke to PEOPLE about his prep for the stunt, explaining, “I went around researching volcanoes for the last six or seven years, visiting several of them in person.”
He said, “It was very important to me that it had an active lava lake at the bottom … [I wanted the] sound of it as that lava smacks.” Wednesday’s walk was the longest and highest high-wire walk that Wallenda — a seventh-generation member of the Great Wallendas — ever attempted. He is also the first person to walk across the volcano, which is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire.“It’s not as though, like last week I was like, ‘Hey, let’s do this,’ ” joked Wallenda to PEOPLE. “This is to hopefully inspire people, and encourage people to constantly push themselves … and that’s really what it’s about.
