Kilauea Volcano and Lava Lake - Hawai'i

 I got to experience a top ten possibly once in a lifetime event during late January 2023 when I watched an active volcanic eruption from the caldera rim of Kilauea. The lava lake was glowing red in a fractured fractal fashion, and a vigorous lava fountain was shooting upwards near the middle of it. Someone next to me had binoculars, and lent them to me briefly. Watching that hot reddish yellow lava erupting upwards through the lens of the binoculars was truly amazing. Such fluid lava!
