Yesterday we went spelunking in Kaumana Cave, a 2 mile long lava tube that was part of an 1881 eruption and subsequent lava flow that threatened to destroy Hilo. As the lava approached Hilo, Princess Ruth from Honolulu stood in front of the lava beseeching Pele to spare Hilo. That night she slept next to the lava flow and by morning it had stopped. Here's the descent.
Mmm, that looks interesting...
I see... yes, I concur
Very interesting indeed...
