But this time he went to the extreme when he visited and climbed Mount Dukono in Noord -Maluku, Indonesia last week.

Suddenly a loud bang is heard and stones can be seen flying from the crater, like lava and starts to seep.
Huge gray clouds then rise from the crater, while Echa, not surprised by the danger, poses for a photo for the eruption while hills of ash fill the air.
The content creator scored the message: “Dukono Volcano.”

A separate user added: “Expensive video, but very dangerous!”
This is not the first time that a reckless tourist has risked it all for a selfie.
In December a selfie tourist in Taiwan was hit by a moving train when she tried to take a photo with the upcoming locomotive.
Despite the collision with the Alishan Forest Railway Train in Chiayi on December 14, the holidaymakers survived in a wonderful way.
The shocking incident was recorded on the camera, with images with the 55-year-old woman trying to catch a photo of herself by train in the background.
In the clip she can be seen to go around to get the right corner while getting closer and closer to the train tracks.
The driver hits the vehicle's horn in a desperate attempt to warn the tourist, but she continues to concentrate on her selfies.
The front corner of the driver's carriage then connects with the shoulder of the woman and sends her tumbling to the ground.
