Spent the weekend on the Big Island and researched some sites for the next Exploring book - "Exploring the Lost Big Island of Hawaii." We visited Halemaumau Crater to see the new rising fiery lava lake. Wow! Make sure you go to see #Halemaumau at #HawaiiVolcanoesNationalPark!

We ate Thai food first in Hilo and then drove up - the drive was quick, just over 30 minutes. By 7pm cars were leaving Volcanoes National Park which was great as it meant that we found parking at #JaggarMuseum. It was a five minute walk to the crater overlook. Freezing cold. Icy up there in the mountains. But totally worth the effort - the lava lake was magical, moving and changing shape, shimmering, sending up bursts of flames and rocks. We could hear accents and languages from all over the world as watchers gathered at the overlook. The main expression: Oooh! Oh! Look! Wow!
