VOLCANO STEAM VENTS

We drive around the south end of the island.

The entire island is made up of gently sloping lava.

We enter an area of steam vents. This is where

rainwater seeps down to the hot rocks underground.

Our first view of Kilauea crater is awesome.

The drive around the rim is eleven miles.

Little ferns seem to thrive around the vents.

Phil warms his hand. The steam is quite hot.
