it fulfills what the child in us all wants to do. Problem is, it's also breaking the law and extremely disrespectful to the Hawaiian culture: From the National Parks Service website: "Orlando also reminds hikers to respect Hawaiian culture. Many native Hawaiians believe that lava is the kinolau, or physical embodiment, of volcano goddess Pele. Poking lava with sticks and other objects is disrespectful. It's also illegal in national parks. Federal law prohibits "possessing, destroying, injuring, defacing, removing, digging or disturbing" natural and cultural resources (36 CFR § 2.1). Pets and unmanned aerial systems, or drones, are also prohibited on the flow field in the National park."
