Description
The Kilauea Caldera in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island, Hawaii. The parks website says: While there are many reasons to visit the �Big Island� of Hawaii, none are bigger than the opportunity to get an up-close look at Kilauea, the world�s most active volcano..........Head to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which encompasses nearly 218,000 acres from sea to summit and beyond. It includes Mauna Loa (the world�s largest volcano) and Kilauea, which has been continuously erupting since January 1983. This eruption phase has added over 500 acres to the Big Island..........Witnessing Kilauea�s molten lava flows, curling steam clouds, vast lava fields, heated steam vents, sulfur banks, prehistoric lava tubes and huge summit caldera is an unforgettable experience. Established in 1916, the park also offers more than 150 miles of hiking trails. The 20-mile drive down Chain of Craters Road will take you through some of the most desolate land on earth, into the Kilauea East Rift Zone and to the current lava flow from Puu`Ō `ō Crater...........Unfortunately, there was no lava flowing into the ocean, which I was so hoping to photograph, and there was no flowing lava that was accessible.
