Lava: It’s Scientific Fun

Posted Lava: It’s Scientific Fun.

Hiked on pahoehoe (“smooth, billowy, ropy”) lava for several miles.

Steam vent. “Get back from the edge” was repeated many times today as the nephews sought closer looks.

Our nephews, peaceful dinner at Volcano House, our hotel in Volcanoes National Park. They walked over 8 miles today.

An offering to Pele, goddess of fire and volcanoes. In the distance, Halema’uma’u Crater is active.

ITO (Hilo) baggage claim, waiting for my better half.

Explored a Hilo supermarket: lomi salmon (Hawaii), kimchi (Korea), and tako (octopus from Japan) sitting together.

Hilo, HI, narrow-spectrum LED streetlight. I’ve posted about narrow-spectrum sodium lights.

On my walk, plants and distant off-grid homes cling to new lava. Once, I drove through here before the lava flowed.
