Hope it stays that way for you.

Although I've since come to appreciate Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park...I'll never forget my first flight from Oahu to the Big Island.

We were mostly in the clouds going over and as we broke through the bottom of them to land, our first peek outside the window...looked like a moonscape!

Thinking back, I believe the pilot had a script because you could hear the audible gasp of the passengers who had become used to the lushness of the vegetation and beautiful beaches on Oahu...and are now looking at basically nothing but cooled lava and a barren volcanic landscape.

His comment included... "the stark beauty of the lava fields."

Great marketing!



It looks like things are still active.
