I don't have a dog in the race, I don't really care about volcanoes. If I was gonna choose one of those places to visit, with everything else being equal, I'd choose Iceland. I feel like it'd be a more genuine experience as opposed to how many tourists Hawaii gets.
I was on a 378' ship during a typhoon in the Bering Sea. The deck of the bridge was 42' above sea level and I was looking up at the crests of 55 ' waves! 75 knot winds with -75f wind chill. I went out on a bridge wing to look at the storm and saw something in the water out of the corner of my eye. Twilight zone time. It was a walrus swimming for it's life. It was porpoising. I didn't know they could swim that hard.
The spray from the bow would freeze in the time it took to hit the bridge 100 ft away. In a day and a half we had 2 ft of ice on the entire super structure and had torn a weld joining the main deck and the forward bulkhead. If the storm had lasted another day we would have been in danger of capsizing from the ice weight. A Korean ship capsized in the storm with the loss of all hands. I was 21 at the time and thought it was exciting. If I was there now I'd be scared to death. The movie the perfect storm captured the look of the waves. At that size they are like a building coming at you. Fast!

my bunk was 50 ft from the stern of the ship. the stern would fall so fast the we levitated out of our bunks. the entire rear of the ship would rotate with the propellers when they were briefly out of the water. I went out on the main deck near the stern. prohibited at the time due to the danger . looking forward along the entire length of the ship I was astounded bto see it flex laterally in the seas! Normally you could see 300+ of the length of the ship looking along the lengtyh.
I was on watch on the bridge the night before and the barometer fell .11 in an hour! I called the Captain. When that happens you're in for a rough time.
You and me both brother. Weather doesn't scare me, not really at least. I mean, if it starts hailing all of sudden I tend to get my shit together. Tornados ain't nothing to fuck with.
Look, at the end of the day it's an experience that you're paying for. You're gonna physically, emotionally, and financially invest in achieving something you always wanted. Go to the place with less niggers. It's almost certainly in your best interest.
Hawaii on the other hand is a word that hurts my heart to even hear. My younger brother fell off a volcano in Hawaii and died. I would like to go see the spot it happened at.
Holy shit. So sorry. Ask @rhy for travel tips if you go. To hawaii.
Sometimes guys just catch that bug and have to do crazy things. Not me, I was standing on a step ladder the other day using my electric hedge trimmer and my inner voice was like “Youre going to die!” every minute. Thats as close to life on the edge as I tend to get.
It always amazes me to see some guys climb mountains and fight wars and all that sort of thing. It is truly a male trait and every fiber of my being says no to taking physical risks. Even riding bikes like your new one is probably not for me. Sympathies for your bro. Try Hawaii. Ive never been to either place but Im sure there are lots of cool places to go around there that arent too touristy or nigger ridden.
Hawaii is sick. Beautiful country, great food. The problem is mostly corporate, not the poor starving natives. Chinese corporations in particular have totally fucked this place. But it's amazing to visit if you're smart about it. Do only 1 night in the big tourist trap places, and the rest of the vacay somewhere out in the country. You'll have a great time.
I lost the cops on my motorcycle on the west side hwy in Manhattan. It wasn't so much me losing them as them wrecking trying to catch me. At 100 mph. In traffic. Ha! Testosterone is a wonderful drug!
Lived in Hawaii for 5 years. It's not as bad as the rumors. It can be, but if you go to the wrong part of ANY big city, you will be confronted by shitty niggers. In West Virginia the Shitty Niggers are White. In Hawaii the Shitty Niggers are mostly Filipino.
I’ve been to Maui. That volcano was dead. It looked like the moon, no green as far as you could see, so high it was freezing in the summer. Then we did a bike ride down, you don’t have to peddle but you have to ride your brake. Let off the brake and you’ll go 40 mph for hours. Lots of fun. It gets hotter as you go down so you have to shuck off cloths. Riding down that Maui volcano was one of the best experiences of my life. I wanted to go faster but my wife was behind me and I didn’t want her to wipe out trying to keep up.
If you want to see one erupt, the ones in Iceland seem to be on a schedule, and the people are white. I met quite a few brown cunts on Maui

Sorry for your loss. Best we can do is educate others of the risks. The helicopter rides in Hawaii are riskier than is led to believe. My parents went in in the 90s and I read some articles last year saying they are dangerous af
I lived in Iceland for a year, hence my username and the fact that my paternal grandmother was full blooded Icelandic. Anyway, that was a long time ago, but I’d like to go back. I’ve been to Hawaii and seen the big one, whatever it’s called on the big island. You go up at night to a visitors center and watch the glow from afar. I’m sure you can venture out on your own and get closer if you want. Just don’t take any rocks home.
I've been to both, would 10000% pick Iceland over Hawaii. Sadly, I was married in Hawaii (many decades ago) and my wife has fond attachments there and none (other than a couple visits since 2018) for Iceland.
The only advice I have for Iceland (actually relevant to all life) is to avoid anything that's overly advertised. We fell for the Blue Lagoon sticht, it was lame, expensive, crowded and so very much not worth it beyond the convenience factor (perfectly fit in a layover window).
You go other islandy places, and they don't hate tourists just cuz. Hawaii is weird that way. I know that to an extent, everyone hates the behavior of tourists, but many people appreciate the money.
Damn, that is a rough story. When I read the header I was all prepared to tell you Kilauea is putting on a spectacular show right now, but after reading the rest of your post go to Iceland. Hawaiian locals are mostly only mean to rude ass flatlanders that disrespect local customs and accepted social behaviors. Go see some beautiful blondes unless the morbid curiosity of visiting his last moments is irresistible. I don't know shit about Iceland, but I live on the Big Island. It's beautiful everyday and the coconut niggers are good people till you step on their toes. If you do come here bring an offering to leave behind at his, let's just call it, "last location". Pele don't play and crazy unexplainable shit does happen. Be cool and it will be an unforgettable experience, fuck around and you will find out
There are many such stories. A friend swears he got bit in the ass while dropping a deuce in the tree line on a fishing trip to the cliffs. He was screaming like a butt cheek got ripped off and begging for some one to do something. Not a mark on him and once we told him he was fine the pain instantly stopped. Creepy shit, literally and figuratively
I have always wanted to go to Iceland. I have also heard stories about people who travel to Hawaii and bring back volcanic rocks you are pissing off some goddess and she makes your life suck until you bring the rocks back. Also, there is a beach with volcanic sand or something. So I guess go see that when your done surfing the lava.
The Post Office has a special bin for people to mail back rocks and stuff they took and then every so often they empty it out and return everything to the beach. The boxes often have a note written on it, apologizing for their actions. I've seen it. People can pray to whatever deity they choose, just do not steal Pele's property. I'm not superstitious, but there is something dark that exists here
This is not the time to LARP as the Voat immune system. You're talking to one of our own faggot, not some boomer piece of shit from reddit. What the fuck is wrong with you other than your mother should have swallowed that load. You're an anal leakage baby aren't you?
