Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii - August 28, 2006
At the roped-off area protecting the unstable lava bench,
after our 3+ miles of hiking, mostly across the rough lava terrain.
There's the rope. We can't get much closer.

Yes, it's dangerous.

Found a great vantage point.

Look carefully -- it's a stream of red lava dumping into the ocean!
[Closer]
A bit better view of this.

[1744x1308]
As it gets darker, it's easier to see the lava.

Pretty amazing.

[1744x1308]
Look back toward the sunset.
[1744x1308]
Moving a little further along, the view is not quite as good at this point.
[Closer]
[1744x1308]
But once in a while, we get a great look.

[1744x1308]
Looking back at the hill.
[Closer]
Up on this ridge, we can see the glow of the lava coming down the hill, too.
