Authorities in Indonesia have warned that the desire to create compelling social media content is driving some tourists and content creators to take deadly risks while visiting the country's active volcanoes.
The authorities noted that visiting volcanoes may seem like an exciting experience that offers the chance to capture striking photos and videos, but it simultaneously involves real dangers that threaten visitors' lives.
Among the hazards authorities have warned about is the emission of toxic gases from volcanic craters, which can pose a direct threat to those who approach them without adequate safety precautions.
These warnings come amid growing numbers of tourists and content creators visiting volcanic sites in Indonesia for filming purposes, prompting authorities to intensify awareness campaigns about the dangers of such visits.
