🌋 Kīlauea, the most active volcano on the planet

From the summit of the caldera to the crossing of the Kīlauea Iki crater, we discover a giant in constant transformation. Solidified lava lakes, sulfurous fumaroles and recent flows bear witness to a geological history that is still unfolding.

🔥 The historic eruption of 1959

Fountains of lava reaching almost 580 meters, a glowing lake over 100 meters deep and the birth of the Puʻu Puaʻi cone: a look back at one of the most spectacular episodes in Hawaii's recent history.
