This sounds great. It reminds me that I've been meaning to watch the documentary about the Whakaari/White Island disaster on Netflix. I went on a deep Mt. St. Helens dive during the pandemic and I'm reminded that the one grad student of the vulcanologist who died ("Vancouver! Vancouver! This is it!") was consumed by guilt because he was supposed to be in the trailer that day but his advisor had switched with him. Then he died in a volcanic eruption in Japan only 10 years later. Vulcanology: not for the faint of heart and not easy on its adherents.
