Etna - Eruzione 1999

even if you could get close enough your blood would boil and would kill you anyway

Lava temperature on etna is aeround 1.000 degrees. What do you intend for 'radiant heat'?

Anyway answer is "no", you would not die immediately... and can survice.

It happened to Guy De Saint Cyr of Aventure et Volcans travel agency (France). A crust broke under his feet and he had feet burned by boots on fire.

I also knew some other person who had to do a "lava walking" and it is not... recommanded. People isolated by two lava arm... space finished :-(

you would die from the shock that woudl be before you reached it its radiant heat from 2500degrees when is a hard state and it can reach up to 8500 or more when deep red or bright orange so ya shock from the body would take effect

There was a volcanologist that fell into fresh lava when he was gathering it. He was in there for 15 seconds and had only the firesuit on. He got 1-3 degree burns but recovered. You would burn very rapidly but you would need to be in there for over 10 seconds to die. Plus it is so hot you would not get close enought to. It's about 1000-1500C.
