  • Molten pahoehoe lava flows at the end of a lava tube in Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. Pahoehoe is the hottest – and most liquid – form of basaltic lava. This ropy pahoehoe results with the thin crust partially solidifies. Lava continues to flow behind it, pushing and folding it, not unlike an accordion.

  • The sunrise colors the sky above the Kilauea Caldera and Mauna Loa in this view from Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. Mauna Loa, one of the most active volcanoes on Earth, is also the largest, standing about 56,000 feet from its summit to its base on the ocean floor. (It stands 13,680 above sea level.) Mauna Loa means "long mountain." The steaming cliffs are visible at the caldera rim. Rain falls into cracks and is then turned into steam by the hot rocks below the surface.

  • A long exposure captures the motion of Pacific Ocean waves crashing through the Hōlei Sea Arch in Volcanoes National Park, Hawai`i. The Hōlei Sea Arch is about 90 feet (27 meters) tall and quite young. The erosive force of the waves created the arch within the past 100 years. The lava cliff itself is only about 550 years old. Hōlei is the name for a small plant in the milkweed family.

  • An ohia lehua tree (Metrosideros polymorpha) provides rare color on a lava field in Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii. Ohio lehua are the most abundant native trees in Hawaii and are among the first life in new lava flows. According to Hawaiian legend, the tree is actually a young warrior. Pele, the goddess of fire, wanted to marry the warrior. When he refused, she turned him into a tree. The other gods weren't able to turn him back, so they turned his true love into the lehua blossom so they could be reunited. It's said that if you pick one of the blossoms, it will rain - the tears of lovers.

  • Haleakalā silversword (Argyroxiphium sandwicense subsp. macrocephalum) grows in volcanic cinder on the slope of the dormant Haleakalā volcano on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The rare Haleakalā silversword, which is considered threatened, grows at elevations above 6,900 feet (2,100 meters). The plant can have 40 or more sword-like succulent leaves covered with silver hairs, which are strong enough to resist wind. The plant is also specially adapted to the extreme high-altitude temperatures. The leaves and hairs are arranged in such a way to focus sunlight, raising the plant's temperature by as much as 36 degrees Fahrenheit (20 degrees Celcius). In Hawaiian, the plant is referred to as ʻāhinahina, which means "very gray."

Crater Lake, the deepest fresh water lake in North America, is located in a caldera at the top of what was once Mount Mazama. A massive eruption around 5,700 B.C. caused the mountain to collapse. While the Wizard Island cone is long dormant, there is some hydrothermal activity at the bottom of Crater Lake, suggesting the mountain is still active.
