Walking in a Volcano on the Big Island of Hawai'i

            Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, is a United States National Park located on the island of Hawaii. This site contains two of the most active volcanoes in the world, Mauna Loa, 13,651 ft high (4,170 m) and Kilauea 4,101 ft high (1,250 m), both of which tower over the Pacific Ocean.  Volcanic eruptions have created a constantly changing landscape, and the lava flows reveal surprising geological formations.
