Lava lovers play with fire

- Natalie O’Neill

This could get sticky fast. A tourist was pictured roasting marshmallo­ws over an active volcano in Iceland Thursday as other onlookers brought kids to the lava-spewing eruption site, photos show.

Some of the ill-advised visitors got dangerousl­y close to the treacherou­s, molten-burping bowl near Mount Fagradalsf­jall.

The volcano erupted Wednesday afternoon in the town of Grindavik, about 30 miles outside Reykjavik after the area was hit by dozens of earthquake­s. Lava from the volcano flowed for six months after it erupted last year.
