East Rift Zone | Island in lava flows

WI_hw452b.jpg

The Pu'u 'Ō'ō cone in the East Rift Zone of the shield volcano of Kīlauea has been developing and continuously erupting since 1983, having produced some cubic kilometres of lava covering more than 100 square kilometres. Only some elevated spots such as this old cone remained unaffected.
