volcanochaser > The fissures in the Southwest Rift Zone on the summit of Kilauea is a favorite spot to explore in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Bear Grylls as well as millions of tourists have been here over the years.
volcanochaser > Another view of second bridge crossed by Bear. A very popular area for tourists also, since it is only a few minutes from Crater Rim Drive.
volcanochaser > Bear crosses the second bridge, also a few hundred feet from Crater Rim Drive. Camera is kept low to partially hide the rock memorial shown just above his right shoulder.
volcanochaser > Bear crosses the first bridge over the fissures that were blocking his way next to the ocean. This bridge is actually a few hundred feet from Crater Rim Drive on the summit of Kilauea. No such fissures exist near the ocean. This is a very popular viewing area and the early morning shadows show that it was probably taped before most of the tourists arrived.
volcanochaser > Panorama of the flow field through the center of the remaining Royal Gardens subdivision. The flow field has tended to expand to the west (left) in recent days, but has also been very active over older flows in the center. The subdivision of about 1800 one-acre lots used to extend two more miles from the base to near the ocean in the lower flats. No utilities, such as phone service, sewer, electricity and water were available when the subdivision was first invaded by lava in the 1980's. Oct 24, 2008
volcanochaser > Closer view of the active flows devastating the forest on the western part of Royal Gardens. Oct 24, 2008
volcanochaser > Several a'a flows converge as they approach the base of Royal Gardens. Harsh sunlight washes out most of the orange glow during sunny days. Oct 24, 2008
volcanochaser > The HVO scientists board the chopper after collecting lava samples. Only choppers on official business can land in active areas or on the National Park to the west (left). Tour choppers must fly at least 500 feet above the surface. Oct 24, 2008
