Description
The ground where we stand is pretty solid and safe. Same as the far end but note thru the cracks, there is lava. If this area was next or in the forest line, it could become dangerous. "METHANE GAS EXPLOSIONS " would be our concern. When the methane ignites, the ground explodes and I heard it during one of our hikes next to the forest line. But for now, we just have to worry about our friends playing with the lava. Aloha and thank you for viewing.

Wow, ever more dangers than just lava. What another amazing shot here.
Movement of an alive lava proceeds. Dangerous action at a good photo. )
Would you get upset with me if I said you guys are CRAZY! L Seems like you guys are tightroping through a mine field! Stay safe and ty so much for sharing these terrific shots with us! (and your stories! )
Beautiful image and textures Sharky. Poor fallen goose.
Thanks for the Methane story, as well as for sharring this fantastic lava, red-hot, capture Have a very enjoyable weekend Henk
Excellent and very impressive shot. Fantastic textures. Thanks for the informations too!!
So... When is your "Lava Hiking" book going to be available? =) Really, you need to compile all of this wisdom and awesome photos!
Beautiful :)
Very beautiful photography
And now I've learned that the gas is a problem even after the volcano erupts. I always thought it was the escape of gas from the volcano that was a danger and not from the lava after it started flowing.
Underground explosions occur in front of lava flowing over burning vegetation. Plants burn without oxygen as they are covered by lava, creating methane gas. The gas fills underground lava tubes. When the methane ignites, the ground explodes up to 100 yards/meters in front of the advancing lava flow. Rocks and debris blast in all directions.
Maybe you will be lucky enough to shot such an explosion! :)
I was wondering about Methane Gas amd other gases. I saw that on tv at diff volcanos. I know each one is diff and each one have diff dangers to them. You be safe and do not shoot the explodes but from a safe place with a very big len
Great textures and colours again. Lovely work
Impressive textures and colors !
As if you didn't have enough to worry about in the lava fields...always constant danger, tread carefully~ Aloha~
Methane gas explosions, LOL sounds stinky if you know what i mean. Another cool capture, this lava has such interesting texture and color!
OMG !!i would be worried about that gas tooo!!! you have gotten so close with these shot i wonder if your camera is going to melt one of these times !!... awesome always to see this !!!
Kimmers...With the new camera and lens I have now, I can't get to close or it wont focus. Will get another lens sooner or later for wide angle shots and close ups. Aloha
It is a wonderful capture, Errol. Incredible to see. I am enjoying this walk with you and your friends. I love to read what you share with us too. Stay safe, always please :-) Aloha. Diane.
Wow...didn't know that about the methane...something to keep in mind for sure. :) Great shot and can't wait 'til you've got the other lens too. :)
With this POV and textural effects, it kinda looks like a vast, gray, quilted cover, if you squint a wee bit. Wonderful capture, as always, of your beloved lava flows.
In addition to your great photos, now you're providing Geology lessons, too. And all for free! Thanks for the link, I've added it to my collection.
