Visitors to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park were treated to a wonderful Christmas present as thick lava gushed from a crater on December 26.
Hawaii resident John Tarson, who operates Epiclava tours around the volcanoes, captures the scene on “Madam Pele.” According to the Hawaiian religion, Pele, the goddess of fire, lives in the Kilauea volcano.
