I couldn't fly all this way without paying a visit to the worlds most active volcano - although all visible activity had stopped a few months earlier. Having said that a new eruption had started on Thanksgiving Eve - the
VOG we drove through was evidence of that!

There have of course been many visitors before me - some more famous than others! When Mark Twain visited the caldera was a lake of molten lava - that must have been quite a sight. Enough to inspire an entire mythology amongst the original Hawaiian population! |

Some remarkable views above and below the lava fields. |
