Kilauea volcano

Today we visited Volcanoes National Park on The Big Island of Hawaii. Tonight we sail by the area where kilauea is spewing lava into the sea. We added in several pictures from the crater and from the town of Hilo today. You can see them here on flickr. We were at 4000 feet and it was quite a bit cooler then the area near the ship. You could see steam comming out of the ground in various places. The tour driver kept saying they are expecting another eruption in the near future. All of the trails sourrounding kilauea were closed due to toxic gases.
