Well, now...I don't see the lava as a "show to be seen" any more than I feel that way about looking through a telescope at a supernova or sitting on our lanai watching a beautiful sunset. We have a chance to see something up close and in person that most people will never have. That something is part of the wonder of nature.
I certainly take the risks quite seriously as I do when approaching the ocean and have no intention of doing anything overtly unsafe.
