Layer up for temperature swings
Pre-dawn on the volcano is chilly, layers are essential and can be shed quickly as the sun warms the viewpoint.
Wear grippy shoes
Walks on the black lava fields are on sharp, uneven rock—sturdy, closed-toe shoes improve comfort and stability.
Bring a headlamp
Arrive and return in low light; a headlamp keeps your hands free when negotiating rough paths.
Charge camera batteries
Cold drains batteries faster and long exposure sunrise shots use more power—carry spares or a power bank.
Warm jacket
