Volcano!

The Big Island is known for its volcanoes, and in fact Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is one of the main attractions on the island. We wanted to be sure to see it while on this vacation, so today we drove to the other side of the island.  One of the main attractions within the park is Kilauea, one of the most active volcanoes in the world.  You can see it from multiple locations in the park, but the best view is from the Jaggar Museum.  The picture on the left was of us in front of it, but unfortunately the weather was poor at the time, so you can't even tell there's a volcano behind us.  Later I took the picture on the right, after the weather cleared up, and you can see the volcanic steam coming out of the crater.  Later, we walked through a volcano tube, where molten lava once poured through but then left a cave-like tunnel.
