Description
This is the road north of Kalapana**, which was destroyed in the last eruption of the Kilauea Volcano. We walked about a mile to the end of the road, then hiked along the lava for another half mile or so. From there we could see a mile or so south where the lava was flowing into the water. There were a couple of huge plumes of steam as it hit. Must be an awesome sight at night (I KNOW it is, since Errol and Dave posted so many fotos of that very thing!!)
I think driving might prove to be a little difficult!!
do zoom!!

I love that sign. Every time we go there, I laugh. There is another spot where you can see a car in the lava too. Isn't Hawaii an awesome place.... Great shots. Aloha

Interesting to see how the lava stopped in two of the pics above right at the edge of the highway. Nicely done.

Yeah, that lava just seems to creep along like a giant blob consuming everything in its path. You've gotten some awesome captures while over there.

This is what I'm talkin' about! We think we are the superior race and yet, nature is quick to let us know that whatever we do, she can undo on a whim. How exciting this is!

Impressive. That's the friendlier kind of lava: I don't know how to spell it, but the Polynesian word for it sounds like pahoiihoii which is the smoother, friendlier lava, as opposed to a'a which is the rougher kind. Apparently "a'a" is the sound you make when it hardens and cools and you walk over it with bare feet. Anyway, enough of that. This is a great series of shots and you really get a sense of its scale. Great work, I wish I could see that for myself...I have kind of a thing for lava, and during my childhood, I thought Chicago was overrated because there were no active, lava-spewing volcanoes in the area. This brings back those memories and that's a good thing.

Awesome collage. I bet that is a "must see for yourself" place.
