We are speechless as we watch this incredible display. This was the best picture I could find that could give it justice. New Dawn actually took it! Imagine if you were there in person to see the lava slide downward as it fell! By the end of the night the whole base was glowing as the lava was oozing and slide back down into the pit. Just outstanding to be able to experience one of natures force.

Laura, Jason and I were able to get very close!

Another great photo.

I love this picture Ross almost looks like heat miser!!
