What is Jehovah's Witnesses view of Revelation 20:10 since they do not believe in hell?

To find out what the "lake of fire" is, continue reading down to verses 13 and 14 (KJV):
13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
These verses explain what Jehovah's Witnesses believe. The "lake of fire" means "the second death," which is the condition of eternal destruction. (2 Thessalonians 1:9) As you may notice, it's not the same as hell, because hell is thrown into the lake of fire. Death and hell are destroyed forever.

As I am studying this myself I have a follow up question. Yes, hell and deathbare destroyed forever in the Lake of Fire. It is not stated that hell is where eternal torment happens, but rather in the lake of fire. While Hell and death are sent there, along with Satan and the false prophet, also everyone not written in the book of life are also thrownninto the lake of fire wherein verse 10 is where eternal torment happens. So hell aside, as that is translated from Sheol/Hades which really translates to the grave, what are JW view specifically of the lake of fire?
