Kilauea Volcano, Hawai`i |
|
 |
Lava sets fire to the once-popular Wahaula Visitor Center and maintenance shop in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park as it completely covers the area with thin pahoehoe lava flows in 1989. Lava flowed again over this part of the south coast of Kilauea Volcano in August 1997, covering the sites of the former visitor center and a nearby ancient Hawaiian temple. |
