These are the Deadliest Tourist Attractions on Earth

Sindabung Volcano

You’re going to have to be joined by an experienced guide when visiting the Sunabung volcano in Sumatra, Indonesia.

This volcano hasn’t had a full-blown eruption in around 20 years, but the magma beneath burps up hundreds of pounds of volcanic ash and carbon dioxide.
