On Dec. 8 we headed down the Chain of Craters road. The craters were not photographically inspirational enough to put here (they were becoming overgrown with trees and plants again, so the craters aren't really visible in the pics), but we passed some super cool lava flows on the drive, and got out several times to wander over the landscape and take photos of the patterns. I'll be super restrained and just show you a few:
Here's a spot where a lava flow covered the road and required it to be re-routed:
Down at the ocean, a natural bridge has eroded out from the new land formed by the lava flow:
A collapsed piece of lava where there had been an air pocket:
Tree growing out of a crack:
On the drive back up the road, we stopped at a spot where there were petroglyphs:
