        I would say I have been sensibly nervous. When we visit volcanoes we make sure to complete a proper risk assessment to make sure we are acting safely and we are in contact with people actively monitoring the volcano, so if anything happened we would be warned straight away. Saying that, a volcano erupting is still very dramatic to see in person and it is hard not to be a little scared (and awed) by the raw power on show.
