Gilbert Dewey Gaedcke III sure picked a fine place to get lost: Volcanoes National Park in Hawaii. The 41-year-old thrill seeker survived five days in lava fields after he embarked alone to check out an active volcano.

Mr Gaedcke was eventually found when a 15-year-old California boy spied reflections from his signal mirror while on a helicopter tour above the park.
