Idiot Runs From Lava After Climbing

Some idiot decided to climb the lava flow bed near the top of an Icelandic volcano, nicknamed, Ragnar. When massive amounts of lava come flowing down at a high speed, the idiot has to run for their life.

I did not film this. I only viewed it on Youtube, but I believe this person definitely deserves an Honorable Mention for 2021.
