Volcanoes and Hawaii

I’ve been fascinated about the volcano activity in Hawaii ever since we’ve been there.

We were just watching a documentary on Discovery Channel and I decided to have a quick look at the current update of the eruption of the Kilauea Volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii.

I was looking at the pictures, and all of a sudden run into a picture that looked very familiar (but slightly different).

Picture taken by me, October 2009

Picture I found on the website of the Government of Hawaii, taken on April 27th, 2010

The picture shows lava, on its southward journey to the ocean, it crossed and buried the County lava viewing trail.
Apparently in the last couple of months, the viewing area we’ve been to, is completely gone!

Check the website of the governement of Hawaii for more updates.

While I was checking my pictures from our trip I also came across these (I know it’s not the same as Kris’ pictures, but I kinda like them:))

Sadly enough, I didn’t have a waterproof camera while snorkeling in Hawaii. But I had an underwater case for my camera, so I was actually able to take a picture of one of the amazing sea turtles you get to swim with while snorkeling.

I hope everyone had a good weekend, enjoy your week!
