It was ash which fell on them, not lava.
The ejected material struck them 30 years later when some jerk threw a rock at them.

The volcano was on Mars and the ejected material only hit them as a meteorite?

They were on Pluto and the volcano spewed liquid Methane on them instead of lava?

What's wrong with this answer?
There standing next to a volcanic explosion, what are the chances that they don't get "lava" on them? OK I'll edit the question to say flow as well? Suffice to say it's wrong. Sorry I didn't clarify I edited the original question so that no one could find it in a search but I forget this contingency
Correct, you get to put a question up if you want.
So obviously there space suits protected them
and they would of got frozen anyway assuming they could survive the -232 degree temperatures without a space suit obviously 
The original answer was one of Jupiter's moons but who cares, the answer is correct.

can i have the next riddle if so here it is
Spoiler :
If the guy doesn't post one then yours stands ok. and in which case it's time
OK I've had enough goes, anyone put up a puzzle/riddle logic problem whatever.
Ok I've got one - 300 monks live together in a monestary. They have very strict rules which are followed by all of the monks at all times. One of the rules is, that absolutely communication between monks is allowed. Another is, that mirrors are forbidden. The monks have their three meals a day together in a large hall, the rest of their day is spent with individual contemplation and chores.
One morning, a messanger comes to the monestary and adresses the monks at breakfast. He tells them, that a rare disease is spread throughout the country, and that some of the monks have the disease aswell. The main symptom of the disease is a large red spot on the head of the afflicted. The disease kills everyone who knows they have it within two hours. The disease was transmitted by a bad shipment of rice, but is not contagious.
On the morning of the eleventh day after the messenger arrives, some of the monks don't turn for breakfast and are found dead in their beds.
Question: How many monks died?

Question: How many monks died?
None? None knew they had it . . .
Some of them must have died, and since they can all talk, then all who ate the rice would tell the other, assuming they didn't tell each other it would be none.
Er no actually I misread the question if they could tell each other it would be all of them sort of, if they told each other.
Because they all ate the contaminated rice, since they all eat 3 meals per day.
After the first day 300/2*2 hours would be left and so on untill only 1 remained then 1 would survive only given that they have 3 meals per day, and they all ate the rice.
Or 150 if they all had it assuming they told each other on the last meal of the 10th day and didn't have it until then or 300 if they all told each other.
