Description

The leading edge of this a'a lava moves slowly downhill. It runs over anything and consumes everything with its fiery breath. Doesn't it look like a dragon's head? You can see my shadow on the right side of this lava image. Aloha and thank you for viewing

Andreas. In our observation, we have never seen fresh lava melt the old lava during our lava hikes. Pahoehoe(ooze) and a'a differ in various properties, such as crystal and gas bubble content, as well as having slight differences in temperature. You can tell the difference between the two..Pahoehoe being more smooth while a'a is rough and jagged. You can find information at the site below. Thanks for asking and hope you come over to Hawaii to see it live. Aloha http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/1999/99_05_27.html

I agree with babuci... that fact that your shadow is in the shot gives you some sense of depth and more realism on the size of the lava stream. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend! :)
