Fine Art Print : Cooled pahoehoe lava
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Cooled pahoehoe lava
Cooled pahoehoe lava. Ferns growing out of cracks in a solidified flow of pahoehoe lava from the Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii. When molten, this thick ropy-looking lava may flow at speeds of up to 50 kilometres per hour. Pahoehoe lava is a type of basic lava with a low silica content, giving it a low melting point. This means the lava can travel great distances from the crater or vent from which it issued. The Hawaiian islands are entirely made up of volcanic rock, and the continuous eruptions of volcanoes such as Kilauea, mean the islands are still growing in size. Photographed in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of cooled pahoehoe lava in Hawaii. The image captures ferns gracefully emerging from cracks within a solidified flow of this unique lava formation, originating from the mighty Kilauea Volcano. Known for its thick and ropy appearance, molten pahoehoe lava can reach astonishing speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour. Pahoehoe lava is classified as basic lava due to its low silica content, resulting in a lower melting point. This characteristic enables the lava to travel great distances from its source, whether it be a crater or vent. The Hawaiian islands themselves are entirely composed of volcanic rock, with ongoing eruptions like those at Kilauea contributing to their continuous growth. Situated within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, this photograph perfectly encapsulates the fascinating intersection between nature's forces and geological wonders. It highlights both the resilience and adaptability of plant life as ferns boldly colonize even the most inhospitable environments. As we gaze upon this image captured by Science Photo Library, we are reminded of Earth's ever-evolving landscape shaped by volcanic activity. It serves as a testament to our planet's dynamic nature and offers us an awe-inspiring glimpse into one of nature's most remarkable creations - cooled pahoehoe lava adorned with vibrant green ferns.
