Kilauea is the most active volcano in the entire world, which makes the Big Island the ideal destination for lava viewing experience.
Located in Volcanoes National Park, Kilauea's last eruption was in Decemeber 2020, and prior to that the previous eruption was in 2018.
Don’t be alarmed that Kilauea was also ranked the most likely volcano to threaten lives and infrastructure in the United States. Kilauea is a shield volcano, which means it would flow at about six miles per hour at its absolute fastest.
According to Hawaiian traditions, Pele, the Volcano goddess is said to live in a fiery pit on Kilauea called Halemaʻumaʻu. If you’re interested in learning more about traditional Hawaiian beliefs, Kilauea and the other volcanoes of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is an excellent place to start.
It was an exhilerating expereince to be at this vocano site. Hope you like the pictures.
