Woman falls into volcano vent on Oregon's Mount Hood
Caroline Sundbaum, 35, told Fox News she suffered a dislocated shoulder but otherwise 'feels fine' and is on the mend
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A woman skiing on Oregon's Mout Hood-- an active volcano-- plunged into a vent on its side but lived to tell the tale.
Caroline Sundbaum, 35, told Fox News she suffered a dislocated shoulder but otherwise "feels fine" and is on the mend, after slipping off the snow-covered fumarole-- a vent in a volcano that emits steam and gases that often smell like rotten eggs but that can be concealed by other weather conditions.

She told the show that a good samaritan nearby had a rope and was able to rescue her from being buried underneath the snow.

An avid skier, Sundbaum was with her husband and was wearing traction shoes and a helmet, and was also equipped with water.
