People are casually golfing in Hawaii while the Kilauea volcano erupts behind them — and the photos are incredible and terrifying all at the same time

• The Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island erupted, but that doesn't seem to faze certain people. 
• Some dedicated people have been pictured golfing on the island, despite the massive ash clouds behind them. 
• A photo of a man hitting swinging on the golf course as the volcano explodes behind him is now going viral. 

Here's the craziest photo you’ll see today. Hawaii's Big Island is currently experiencing an eruption of its Kilauea volcano – which is leading to ridiculous ash clouds and lava slowly creeping towards residents. In fact, since the volcano started erupting 12 days ago, FOX News reports that two dozen homes have been destroyed. In addition, nearly 2,000 people have been told to evacuate their homes.

But, it doesn't look like everyone is deterred. Some people – probably on vacation – are still golfing on the island, despite the ridiculous backdrop. We're not sure how safe it is to be playing golf under these conditions, but we appreciate the persistence.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
