live inside a volcano. And they may have decided that if it does erupt, and I hope they would have enough warning, they would go someplace? Might even have a plan for that eventuality.

Or is it possible the Governments have some policies that cover them if they need it?

Anyhow, it is beautiful to see, all of them.
