Best Answer

Kilauea Volcano is the kindest, friendliest volcano on Earth as well as being the most active. Since the current ongoing eruption began on January 3rd 1983, only four lives have been lost from mishaps on the lava: 1) 1993, a French photographer died in a bench collapse at the ocean entry. 2) 1998, a hiker foolishly climbed to the top of a cinder cone and fell to his death. 3 & 4) Two hikers died of pulmonary edema after foolishly standing downwind of the hydrochloric acid fumes at the ocean entry. This makes Kilauea a few levels safer than a tour at Disney World or a drive through any major city. Four deaths in 28 years is remarkable, considering the immense power of the lava flow it produces. I live on the lava very close to the ocean entry and I walk the lava field every day. It is a potentially dangerous area, for sure, yet a spirit of kindness and welcome pervades being here. Seeing lava up close and seeing it flow into the ocean are unbelievably powerful, life-changing experiences. This is "Casper the Friendly Volcano." Come see for yourself.
