Could you please advise us how to book a tour to see lava flows at the best possible prices? Can we get there on our own and if so what should we wear. PS: how many places are there to choose from?

The things we get in our mail is quite stunning and unbelievable time and time again. The above is from one of those from a large family coming to visit and wishing to get close to burning lava as soon as possible.[blockquote type=”blockquote_line” align=”right”]you do not want to fall into a crack and then smell your feet suddenly melting[/blockquote]

In case others are wondering about the same issue let us assure you guys you cannot get close to flowing lava here since there is none. Lava is not free-flowing here like rivers and if it were one could hardly live here. The only times one can possible view molten lava pushing its way through the landscape is when a volcano bursts and even then there is no guarantee of getting up close and personal.

That being said, even trying to is way too dangerous for the average Joe and Joanna. Molten lava is not a TV show to enjoy. It will turn anything in its path to cinders in an instant. It sometimes flows above ground but also sometimes below ground too creating grave danger without anyone knowing. Trust us, you do not want to fall into a crack and then smell your feet suddenly melting. Lastly, a volcanic rift sends out massive amounts of dangerous fumes. Dangerous enough to kill a person in a few minutes of one gets too close.

But we understand there is a kind of a TV-version available; in Hawaii and oftentimes molten lava flows in abundance in Etna mountain in Italy. Go there.
