Halemaʻumaʻu Crater at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park holds the largest lava lake on Earth. When all that molten rock splashes around, the dynamic orange light can fill the crater and make the nearby steam clouds glow. It’s a jaw-dropping sight and a reminder of the powerful forces of nature that continue to shape our planet. Photo by Janice Wei, National Park Service volunteer.
