Well, a recent Unreal Engine 4 technical demo do something similar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dD9CPqSKjTU

But I don't feel it realistic, just too much "fantasy" even in the lava look. Not a specialist though.

Yeah its not bad, don't think it would take much more to remove the fantasy look though. It's a shame they guy who shot that picture didn't film it instead would be good to see how the things are interacting relative to each other

That is a nice shot.

Darksiders 2 had an erupting volcano. It looked good if I remember correctly. Pity the gameplay was just tedious puzzles.
