As someone who comes from a tourist town, I can confirm that tourists leave any semblance of common sense at home at an alarming rate…and that was before social media
I say the park officials shouldn’t risk anyone’s lives with search and rescue (more likely search and recovery). People that are this stupid deserve to have their boiled flesh and rendered oils become a permanent part of the park’s thermal features.

Tourists truly are a unique breed. They see danger and think ‘this looks like a good photo op!’

Eventually, Darwin will catch up to you, and if you’re lucky, it’ll be caught on camera and you’ll get more clicks than you did in life.
