Kilauea Iki
Kilauea Iki
This looks like a pretty big crater. The lava lake in the bottom of it is hard and relatively cool, so much so that you can hike down across it and out the other side. You might be able to see some people down inside if you look close. I didn’t hike down into it.
If you look across it to the other side you can see the steaming crater inside the even bigger Kilauea crater, which is huge.
So the picture is of a small crater, and in the background you can see an even bigger smoking crater, which is inside the really big crater of Kilauea Volcano. Iki means small, which is why the crater in this picture is called Kilauea Iki.
