Scroll down to the video of flying over the lava flows and vents by helicopter.

Yikes!

My first thought was wondering what they were flying. I just hope it was a twin engine heli in case of and engine out situation. No place to safely land. (I flight sim a lot, including helis).

Then seeing the lava fountain.... totally surreal. Looked like something from a disaster movie. Almost looks fake because of the sheer scale of the eruption.
