6 of the Deadliest Tourist Attractions in the World
#4 – Kilauea Volcano and Other Active Volcanoes, Hawaii
Los Angeles TimesChecking out an active volcano is a bit of extreme way to go for a vacation and a volcano tour can kill you in many ways. There are 3 active volcanoes in Hawaii, but the most dangerous one is Kilauea Volcano found on the Big Island.
Kilauea Volcano has been erupting almost non-stop since 1983, but it was in 2014 when the lava flow came hazardously close to the town of Pahoa. Actually, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park system records about 40 volcano-related deaths per decade.
The main cause of death is the toxic combination of gases, called lava haze, which looks harmless but is particularly deadly for people who suffer from asthma or heart conditions.
