HAWAII VOLCANO GALLERY

307 -- In the summit caldera of Haleakala Crater, Maui. Cinder cones, flowers, and lava flows present a beautiful and varied landscape crossed by hiking trails in Haleakala. The green slopes of the caldera rim are in the distance. Painted from nature. (Copyright William K. Hartmann).

340 -- Steam Plume from the Kalapana Lava Flow Entering the Sea, Late Afternoon, Hawaii. Close to this spot, the Kalapana flow of the 1980s and 90s flowed across and blocked the coastal highway of Hawaii, and then flowed a few hundred meters further into the sea. For some years, the flow has continued underground, still emptying into the sea beyond and below the cliff-coastline in this view. From beyond the cliff, a huge plume of steam rises from the spot where the molten lava hits sea water. Painted from nature. (Copyright William K. Hartmann).

375 -- Eucalyptus trees of Hale Pohaku, on Mauna Kea. This grove is on the grounds of the dormitory complex for Mauna Kea Observatory on the island of Hawaii. Painted from nature. (Copyright William K. Hartmann).

494 -- The beach at Halape, afternoon. This camp spot is at the end of a long hiking trail down a cliff in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Some years back, several Boy Scouts were killed here when an earthquake dropped the beach about three feet and produced a tidal wave that created the bay seen here. Started from nature, finished in the studio. (Copyright William K. Hartmann).
