So - get Yourself a consolation and buy one of the perfect books by Douglas Peebles which reflect them oh so well.This time I am speaking of "The Viewbook of Hawai'i's Volcanoes".>>The Hawai'ian Islands were born of volcanoes. The dormant Diamond Head and Punchbowl of O'ahu, Haleakala on Maui, and the very active Kilauea - volcanoes are Hawai'i's icons.

This perfect book will fascinate You with the whole range of all the different lava types You can find in and around Kilauea, especially the glowing rivers of molten earth propelling into the air. You will see astonishing, cooling pahoehoe lava hardening into rocks that are like ropes! And You will see the fire lakes all around the still so young earth beneath Your feet. The craters of the Pu'u 'O'o Vent, the snowy cinder cones of Mauna Loa and the new life that grows in the cracks of the volcanic landscape - all that will satisfy Your eye, and You want desperately to see more of those wonders. <<Those are the oh so touching words of the Author himself who gave the permission to use them in reviews. And many of the people living on those wonderful islands are able to describe these astonishing places with so much pride and love!Please go and pay a visit to those places where Mother Earth is still pregnant and new islands rise from the enormous depths of the oh so majestic Pacific Ocean - before the Big Tsunami swallows them because of the senseless overheating of our planet :(((The Sea is where we came from and we shall never forget this fact.Here - You simply CANNOT forget it ;)Enjoy the book, You will love it!
