Volcano!!!!!
May. 1st, 2009 09:41 amYesterday we headed out around 9:30 to drive around the south end of the island on our way to Kilauea... and, of course, ended up making all sorts of stops along the way.
( Talk about the southernmost point in the USA and volcanoes (with pictures!), under the cut. )
And now, we're headed back to explore Hilo a bit, do the hike across the floor of Kilauea Iki, go on the unlighted part of the hike through the lava tube (we bought small flashlights last night) and hopefully get to see some actual lava tonight, if they're allowing people back that way (if the volcanic gases get too bad, they won't let people through).
