Before yesterday I had really no idea that tourist-parties were visiting the island.Gas masks and hard hats are provided as this active volcano is still very much alive. Its seismic activity is closely monitored although the island is usually on an alert level rating of 1 or 2 on a scale from 0 to 5.
