That wonderful stuff: Lava

I'll admit I haven't read the 4e books cover to cover (yet). But I read 3e books pretty thoroughly and I don't recall lava in the natural hazards sections. I might have simply missed it, forgotten it, or haven't seen it yet in a 4e book, but I'm curious about stats for lava in GURPS.

In D&D 3.x, lava is pretty scary. It does a lot of damage. And it seems... it really should. There's also the "continuing" damage from it being stuck to you. And I wonder about those toxic fumes that usually accompany lava... Is there a definition for GURPS? If not, has anyone come up with good stats for it?

Sure it's unlikely anyone will encounter lava without seeking it out, but some of the worts traps in my time playing D&D included lava... and I'm just curious about what the GURPS stats are.
