Some of the lava was in sheets and in other places it was almost like large pieces of sand.

Spider web in the lava field. We weren't bothered by insects, so I wonder what the spider found to eat.

Noah captured some of the different colors in the lava field.

Those rocks are not really red hot. The color comes from the composition of the lava.

Noah was prepared to take pictures as we followed our guide, Kai. We always walked on the paths and never strayed due to the danger of stepping into a hole.

As this lava cooled it broke, reveailing its insides. The yellow color is from sulpher.

Sulpher deposits.

Sulpher is still being deposited in this area that is still steaming--if "steaming" is the right word.

Othere chemical create different colors

Los diferentes colores son el resultado de los tipos de productos químicos en la lava.

This is one edge of this particular lava flow and I wondered if the different lava compositions (and thus the colors) piled up here.

Noah captured some of the ground plants coming back at the edge.

This could be on a different planet. Everything about this walk was new to us from the feel of the ground to the vistas to the smells.

Look at how some parts of the flow seem to be relatively smooth and how other parts are mini-mountains of still-steaming rocks.

Noah found a strand of "Pele's Hair." It is just to the right of the red rock. The strands are formed by the stretching or blowing-out of molten basaltic glass from lava. Pele’s hair is often carried high into the air, and wind can blow the glass threads several tens of kilometers from a vent.

The lava stopped flowing in mid-2018 but is still steaming in som places in mid 2019.

I think Noah did an excellent job of capturing the scene.

The red color here may be from iron.
