Photo Spot Details

The volcano was in a “glowing” phase, enough to illuminate the steam clouds rising from the crater. It was a lucky guess to get up early and have a clear morning to get this shot, and to have part of the Milky Way.

Suggestion for budding volcanologists is to check from rental houses just outside the park.  It is a pleasant contrast to the warmer, beach climate elsewhere in Hawaii.

Hi Dave, I went on vacation to Hawaii in March 2018. I am making a quilt and wonder if I have permission to use the picture above
to print out on pima cotton and sew it on my personal quilt.

Hello, I love the shot! I will be in Hawaii in January and plan on visiting the park. What time of day did you take this picture? When does the park open? Thanks Jim
