Fire in the Hole
Photograph by Frans Lanting
Nestled in a 400-foot-deep (100-meter-deep) crater at Pu'u 'O'o, a spatter cone—formed and reformed over time by eruption fallout—glows when molten earth churns toward its opening. Though seemingly solid ground, the crater floor is tentative, with lava flowing just below the surface.
