VOLCANOES (BIG ISLAND)
When it comes to Hawaii’s natural wonders, our facebook ohana is most in awe of Madame Pele and her fiery displays at the Big Island’s Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The latest display involves a lava lake swirling beneath a crack in the earth at Halemaumau crater — Kilauea volcano’s summit caldera. During the last several weeks, the lake has been rising to its highest levels since the vent opened in 2008, according to the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Last month, the park celebrated the 25th anniversary of its designation by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) as a World Heritage site.
