Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park is on Hawaii Island (the Big Island). Kilauea and Mauna Loa active volcanoes are the main features of the park which receives thousands of visitors each year.

Right now the Kilauea Volcano is erupting. The molten lava so far has been contained in the Halema’uma’u crater. The United States Geological Survey has provided live cams of the eruption. The live cam (seen above) is stunning to watch. This is the link to the live cam on YouTube. I’d highly suggest you take a look. You can see the lava bubbling up in the lava field, and see the progress of lava cones developing. The history of the National Park and the sacred significance of the eruption is also worthy of study.
That is a dangerous, alien landscape in that crater! 💀

I saw a graphic that showed how this one volcanic hotspot on the ocean floor is responsible for the Hawaiian islands, amazing!

Thanks, John. The geology of the Hawai’i islands is fascinating. The whole topic of continental drift is also an amazing subject. It’s remarkable what Earth has done, and is still doing.
