Lava on the Big Island

Lava on the Big Island as seen from a Helicopter. The lava is flowing out of the Pu'u O'o crater on the eastern edge of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The lava was flowing down to the sea in June but in August it is flowing to the east and into a forest in the general direction of Hilo. The lava flows very fast in places and is one of the most amazing things I have seen in all my life.
