affrecaOr, How Not to Be One
2) Beware of many sources of danger on a volcano.
Extreme heat, cold, windstorms, heavy rain/ acid rainfall, lightning, altitude sickness, blizzards, getting lost, volcanic activity, unstable terrain, dangerous plants, animals, and insects. Volcanoes generate their own weather which can be severe and different from that only a few km away. Localised wind storms may reach 150 km/hr without warning. Beware that some areas may be high risk areas for robbery, kidnap, personal injury, civil unrest etc. Traveling to new regions may put the traveler at risk of diseases such as malaria, typhoid, food poisoning etc. Take all necessary prophylactic medication and immunizations.
Getting to the volcano may be more dangerous than the volcano itself!
Hmm...
