On July 1 we left the condo and headed to the volcano area.

We arrived at Volcano House at 5PM after our wanderings along the way. We had a choice of eating early or late, we chose late so that we could be near where the lava enters the sea at sunset. The drive from Volcano house, which is at abou 4000' to the sea takes about 40 minutes. Along the way there are little side roads to craters.

When we got to the bottom, there is a trail marked for about 1 football field's length, then you are on your own. As you get to the trail, you encounter this transition from road to lava.

This is the marked trail, with the steam from the lava entering the sea producing the cloud.

We went far beyond the 300 yard path, but nowhere near the 4 miles to the entry point.

Here is a sign that tells you not to get closer to the sea. This is because the lava forms a shelf out over the ocean, and they have estimated how much of it is likely to fall off into the sea. If you are on it when it goes, you checked out, permanently.

As it got dark, and as the lava moved, and the wind blew, the lava would create an orange glow on the bottom of the clouds. I can't see it in the pictures, and the camera wasn't able to deal with later and darker when it showed better. Maybe I'll get to work on this picture later.
