Volcano's National Park is about a 2-1/2 hour drive from North Kohala, This is the "Big Island".

Thanks to the Department of Interior, U.S. Geological Survey for the great shots.

Pretty Petunia skylight in roof of PKK lava tube, upper part of PKK flow. View looks downstream. Some of the  lava visible through the skylight will eventually end up at East Lae`apuki 1-2 hr later.

View from farther right, looking at the ever more sluggish lava falls and its growing surface crust.

Tube-fed pahoehoe flow from Kupaianaha crosses the highway and enters Kalapana in 1986.

Pahoehoe toe, about 1 m long, approaches a loose rock (lower center) on a ledge near top of gaping crack.

The actual breakout point, where lava wells from a lava tube and sees the light of day for the first time in its history.
