Kilauea Caldera, Hawaiitdorsz has added a photo to the pool: Looking into Kilaueas caldera from the Crater Rim trail you can see the hard shell of previous lava flows. There are two main types of lava, pahoehoe and aa. The type seen here is Pahoehoe which comes out smooth and dense and can form large areas that resemble a large flat parking lot. Notice the blue trailer in the middle of the photo. You can also see an electric pole to the left of it. It’s a temporary station that measures seismic data in the crater. This really gives you a sense of the massive size of this caldera. SOURCE: Hawaii Photographs Pool - Read entire story here.tdorsz
