HAWAII'S THE BIG ISLAND VOLCANO
posted by geoffrey BrandonThis is an incredible photo for two main reasons (1) I was standing so close to lava glow near sunset- I had never seen lava glow before It was an extremely dangerous thing to do-I will never do this ever again - the rocks below me could have collapsed The heat was enormous- I was only able to stay there about 30 seconds just for the photo-(see sweat on my brow) If there is a next time to observe lava glow -I would do so with a pair of binoculars (2) The second reason is that the Volcano erupted one week later after this photo was taken-it is known as Mount Kilauea Volcano
