Volcano Creation in Motion

Enter the realm of Pele, goddess of fire: mountainsides ablaze; fountains of incandescence; molten lakes that glow in the twilight; bubbles of lava exploding and showers of volcanic glass. Where the flow meets the ocean, pillars of acid-laden steam rise from the boiling sea. From the smooth slopes of Mauna Loa to the deep, rain-sculpted valleys of Kauai; from the atolls of Northwest Hawaii to the island Loihi: this is the story of the Hawaiian Islands, inscribed in earth, water, and fire.
