When Iceland's Grindavík volcano began erupting on Monday, it came as no surprise to locals, who had already been evacuated following after some 2,000 earthquakes in the region over the last month. One man, however, didn't seem to understand the danger he was in and decided to get his hiking boots on and get up close and personal anyway.
On Tuesday, a Coast Guard helicopter flying near the volcano noticed a flashing light coming from the ground, signalling that someone was in distress. Fortunately, they were able to locate the hiker who was described by The Sun as cold and exhausted and extract him from the area by air.
