An associate of mine took these pics on the big island of Hawaii - pretty amazing, thought I'd share...

Awesome pics! Thanks for sharing!

I was obsessed with volcanoes when I was a kid, and the fascination never really faded  :)

Fantastic pictures.

My father was geologist in Hawaii and I had the opportunity to go on some of the field trips that he would take his students on (he was a Professor at the University of Hawaii). We had an excellent time hiking around lava fields, and on one occasion we were able to take lava samples from a lava flow. I can't even begin to explain the intensity of the heat coming off a slow and (fairly) cooled off lava flow, it was still fluid (pahoehoe lava) but wasn't anywhere as hot as fast flowing molten lava. Lava is cool.
