Photo Gallery :: 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.

This lava stalactite, and the surrounding area of the lava cave, is richly coloured with mineral deposits - possibly a mix of heamatite, ferrous compounds and lead oxides.
