"Eye" See You Through A Skylight, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park

An aerial view of a skylight (opening in a lava tube) with bright orange-yellow lave flowing beneath the ropy, shiny pahoehoe lava at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park

Take a helicopter ride over active volcanics in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park and you might just see a bright "eye" of lava looking at you through a lava "skylight" - an opening in the roof of a lava tube through which red-hot lava is flowing. You can learn about volcanic terms you might come across during a visit to this national park by reading this Hawai'i Volcanoes Primer.
