This video shows it up close. Sheet metal riveted together, siliconed in the cut out ground.

I wish they had included a video where they knock on it with a knuckle so we can hear the reverberations.

As a side note. The video quality seems incredibly good for a video hosted on Instagram.

Probably same reason McCandless's van was finally removed. People dying or needing to be rescued while trying to visit it.
