Can you roast marshmallows over a volcano? Martin Bester has the answer
Updated | By Breakfast with Martin Bester
Hawaii’s Kilauea volcanic eruption has the world talking, but one important question needs to be answered...
Responding to this morning’s news, Martin Bester had the perfect way to roast a marshmallow over a scorching hot volcano.
USGS Volcanoes, who delivers official volcano updates and information, answered a tweet and confirms that “no, you should not roast marshmallows over the scorching hot volcanic vents.”
@USGSVolcanoes Is it safe to roast marshmallows over volcanic vents? Assuming you had a long enough stick, that is? Or would the resulting marshmallows be poisonous? @JimGriffith_SV @DrFunkySpoon

Erm...we're going to have to say no, that's not safe. (Please don't try!) If the vent is emitting a lot of SO2 or H2S, they would taste BAD. And if you add sulfuric acid (in vog, for example) to sugar, you get a pretty spectacular reaction.

Residents of the Leilani Estates and Lanipuna Gardens had to evacuate due to the fissures and the lava slowly moving, eventually moving to the ocean.
