Tourists slammed for risking lives on lava-pumping volcano for selfies
NY Post
It was out of nature’s frying pan — and into the social media fire.
Despite multiple stern warnings from experts, clout-chasing tourists continue to risk their lives to get spectacular volcano footage and selfies in Iceland. The most recent instance saw several bozos grilling food on still-molten magma — and washing it down with soft drinks, Newsflash reported. The searingly stupid stunt comes amid a scandal last month, in which a volcano-monitoring webcam recorded a man standing in front of an advancing river of lava on an active crater in the Geldingadalur Valley. The eruption, sparked after a series of earthquakes in the area, was the peninsula’s first volcanic explosion after lying dormant 781 years, per the Associated Press.More Related News
