Too long and overly drawn out. Could have easily been told in an hour. A group of people went on an adventure expecting to see some raw, natural beauty. That's awesome! Unfortunately, the results were less than desirable. Sure, some of the liability must be assigned to the tourists that took the risk, but unlike some reviewers, I don't believe that the tour companies and local governments are without blame. Travelers have a reasonable expectation of basic safety - rightly so. Technology is more than advanced in this day and age to warn of impending disastrous conditions like a pending volcano eruption. Despite conditions being 'Level 2' on the day of, the expedition irresponsibly proceeded. This is not on the travelers that didn't know any better, and trusted those that were supposed to know better, it's on those that were supposed to know better. I know there is a different culture and different approach in this - and many other - parts of the world, but that doesn't excuse the wanton disregard for human life; and yes, they DO need to be held accountable, despite the protests of the apologists here and elsewhere, so that things improve and nothing like this ever happens again.
