Lava caves of Hawaii
Host to the largest lava cave in the world, Kazumura Cave, the Big Island of Hawaii sucessfully drew the Winster Cavers into the subterranean world once more - and much to our surprise, we were delighted with the fascinating and varied experience, and the beauty of the formations. We didn't make it to Kazumura, but as you'll see, we didn't miss out.

The "shield" nature of the Kilauea Volcano means that the lava flows regularly crust over leaving voids, and thus caves, beneath. This inviting cave entrance only gave access to a small chamber. There are thousands of similar "bubbles" in the area. |
