Unfortunately there are some Darwin Award Candidates, like some in my neighborhood during Hurricane evacuation, that want to witness the event up close.

"...some chose to remain behind (and actually hide from the rescue workers!), likely for the thrill of being near an actively erupting volcano. Local authorities have sent teams out to find those who are still on the volcano—possibly between 130-390 people are stranded, with some choosing to stay against advice, some possibly lost."

A bit like diving with certain species of sharks and no cage, perhaps?
