When I was a kid there was a volcanologist couple that used to do stuff like this with volcanos. I remember thinking how cool they were and how I wanted to do that someday. They ended up getting vaporized in a pyroclastic blast

On 3 June 1991 at 4pm local time, Mount Unzen erupted, forming pyroclastic flows that rushed down its slopes, killing 43 people including the Kraffts, as well as their fellow volcanologist Harry Glicken, who had accompanied them to observe the eruption.

Well.

They have a cool documentary called 'The fire within'

They died doing what they love, which is cool as hell.
