Description
Kilauea Iki had erupted in 1959 sending lava to the air to heights of about 1,900 ft. It was like a red/orange sunset all over with a roar of a freight train. The lake was large filled with red lava. It was warm from the distance where I'm taking this picture from. It was beautiful and yet scary at that time. I would know. I was there at that time. Well here I am again and taking a hike into the crater with Lady Carrie. Aloha and thank you for viewing
