Kilauea: Hawaii Volcano

I’ve visited Kilauea several times. It was a wondrous, awe inspiring part of every visit to my parent’s home just outside of Hilo. Recently, Kilauea has begun sending lava toward the town of Pahoa. If the lava reaches Pahoa it could mean the loss of structures and roads as well as cutting off residents from their homes.

You can see daily updates on the volcano here.

Now for some of it’s beauty.  Below is a gallery of some of the images I’ve taken while visiting Kilauea.  It’s both remarkable and terrifying.  The last two images are from an area now off limits. They are of the Caldera at the volcano’s summit.  Since the images were taken, a portion of the caldera filled with lava making the area unsafe.  Click on any image to make it larger.
