Postcards From the Volcano

Halema‘uma‘u Crater, Kīlauea Volcano summit. Night. (The volcano’s not spewing lava, although this photo makes it sort of look like it is. It <i>is</i> active, but that just means there’s lava flowing beneath the ground, and it does bubble to the surface. You can see the glow at night. This particular night, it was rather misty, so that enhanced the glow. Plus, long exposure.) © 2012 Sugar + Shake
