Guys! Back up! Lava will kill you instantly if you touch it. Didn’t you ever play Mario? Remember playing ‘The Floor is Lava’ as a kid? You tried to avoid the floor. Not take a selfie with it.

Seriously. That high-vis vest you’re wearing isn’t going to help you. And why are all these scientists trying to take samples of lava, anyway? What are you going to learn from that? That lava is really hot? I could have told you that. You can tell it’s really hot because it’s red.

I feel like lava being dangerous is one of the first things you realize about the world as a kid. Kindergarten stuff. Did these people miss that one?
