Witnessing nature’s drama up close is not for the faint of heart. Luckily (or unluckily) for North Americans, the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean offer just the sort of terrible weather and active volcanoes that make for heart-pounding vacations. And if you’re looking to go farther afield, you’ll have even more thrilling options around the world.
