Evening breeze has picked up and wafted much of the “vog” away for better visibility of the caldera.
For scale, the Kialuea caldera is about 2x3 miles in size, with the walls as high as 400 feet. The circular crater inside, where the glowing lava is exposed, is about 3000 feet in diameter. They say that Kilauea is a new volcano, not part of nearby Mauna Loa, and is sliding slowly southward away from Mauna Loa and rising about 1/2 inch per year... or maybe one should consider that Mauna Loa and the rest of the island chain is moving northwestward slowly across the crustal hot-spot that is causing the eruption.
Kilauea, Hawaii.

We were treated to continually changing colors as the sun sank over the ocean, but also to horizontal rain in heavy cross-winds. Up in the Kohala Mountains, northwestern Hawaii (the big island)
