Cool Stuff (2)

This hardened lava flow is just a few meters behind my vantage point for my "Hot Stuff" submission from Volcan Pacaya in Guatemala. I am sure the interior is still pretty warm, but the surface of this "river" was indeed solid and cool enough to walk over. Photo was cropped to elimate views of the the other climbers walking around.

Another Perspective
Edited by:ldhendrix (46)
In response to Karin's request to see the lava flow in perspective to the other climber's, I am simply posting an unprocessed alternate view that also shows the field in relation to the crest which is above the upper right limit of the photo. If you look closely behind my step-daughter (background) you make out climbers going to the summit. Above left of my wife (foreground), along the ridge line, you can also make out some hot spots still glowing red from the heat of the lava.
