This image was taken yesterday at the Pulama Pali on the Big Island of Hawaii. A few waves of surface flows making its way to the ocean due to the recent inflation. A difficult hike for some of them like this one and others are manageable. There is already one existing lava tube system currently going into the ocean still. There are two types of lava flows, Aʻa and the Pahoehoe. The Aʻa flow which is represented on the left is a crumbly brittle time of flow and very hard to walk on. The Pahoehoe flow representing on the right side is more smooth and for sure the way to hike on. Lucky enough to get a active lava flow running in-between this two types of lava rock.
