The volcano is Hawaii's Kilauea, which in the pantheon of volcano types is a stable, gentle individual, with lava of the non-gaseous type that isn't likely to cause explosive eruptions. This gentle lava lends itself to spectacular photos, also:
This wave of lava actually chased the photographers up to higher ground, it was a genuinely dangerous moment for the team. The main danger at Kilauea is the possibility of breaking through a thin roof of cool lava into a hot chamber below; death would be inevitable and quick in such a scenario, and probably briefly agony.
