Halema'uma'u Crater

This is one of the active areas within Kilauea. During the day we can see the steam from the lava lake deep within. We are hoping see a glow tonight--weather permitting. Have we mentioned that it's raining?? There are some lava flows in a remote area in the East Rift Zone from Pu'u O'o but even a big hike won't get us close. John learned about Pele's hair today which is spun glass fibers from the volcano.  He found some very easily. They often gather in the crevices. Off to adventure along Chain of Craters Road.
