Lava on the Big Island

[ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Hiked approximately 2.5 miles to the current lava flows. Always stay on the 'designated' trails. A few years ago, an individual hiked too close to the ocean and 2-4 acres of the solidified lava shelf slipped beneath the waves. He was never seen again.

This is something most of the world does not see very often. What a neat sighting.
