I am severely tempted to hop on a flight to go and see it, but wondering if it's such a "once in a lifetime" thing to go see? That, and if it'll peter out by the time I get there, and $500+ to just fly on a whim and stay overnight.

Yeah it went on about 12 hours which might be a record. But this was the 38th eruption this year. Others may not have been as big as this though.

That said, it feels like a once in a lifetime experience, yes. See my video: https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE4NDM1Nzg1OTAyMTA0...

Depends how close you go to see.

If you wanna see it more than once, don't go too close.
