Hiking the lava

After 45 minutes of lava hiking, this was as
close as we got to moving magma. It was
near dark and we had no flashlights.

South Point, this area is the most southern spot in the US. Yet, I have pictures of Key West, Florida saying the same thing.

We only had 3 days to see it all. No problem,
but we did have to move quick, and we didn't
get much sleep.

Of course, there were lots of waterfalls.
