I happen to stumble across this article: The world’s five deadliest volcanoes … and why they’re so dangerous
https://theconversation.com/the-worlds-five-deadliest-volcanoes-and-why-theyre-so-dangerous-74901
It's either that folks live near the volcano, or folks visit.
KILAUEA has been active for some time now, and lava apparently is routinely flowing to the ocean.

https://www.nps.gov/havo/planyourvisit/lava2.htm - one can visit, but there are areas on/over which one should not walk.

I didn't know about the fifth one: Changbaishan, China
Edit: Changed title of thread to be more accurate. The title was "World's Five Deadliest Volcanoes".

Few have heard of this volcano in a remote part of Asia – and its last eruption was in 1903. However, its history tells a rather scarier story. In around 969AD, the volcano produced one of the largest eruptions of the last 10,000 years, releasing three times more material than Krakatoa did in 1886.
