I was thinking of a raised wooden platform with steps near the "lava river" - similar to the one they had in NYC at Ground Zero.
Probably the easiest for the County would be to licence a number of tour operators and just have people waive rights to everything before going in to the Zone.
For those who don't/can't do the steps, a temporary elevator system similar to what the construction guys use? I know we want it to be free but heck I'd be willing to pay 10-20 bucks to see fissure 8 spewing. Wonder what the "safe viewing distance" would be as this would be different from the lava hitting the seawater?
