Advancing Lava Flow

Advancing Lava Flow
The edge of the lava flow from Kilauea crater’s eruption of April 1990 advances through the Kalapana Gardens on Hawaii Island, Hawaii. The outer surface of the lava flow cools and hardens from contact with the air, while underneath, the lava may remain molten for days.
