Scientists could finally provide an early-warning detection system for volcanoes by dropping using heat resistant sensors - dubbed 'dragon eggs.' Drones are used to drop the ultra-heat resistant 'dragon eggs' in dangerous locations around the top of active volcanoes where they can provide valuable real-time data.

The highly specialised pods are being equipped with a range of state-of-the-art sensors for temperature, humidity, vibrations, and numerous toxic gases - and could potentially save lives.The early-warning devices are the first of their kind in the world, and could give advanced early warnings of eruptions.
