Recent travel to Hawaii:

Lava Rock Café, Volcano Village, Hawaii

Recent trip to Java, Indonesia:

Krakatoa, Java. I had a rare opportunity to camp for several nights on Krakatoa Volcano off the west coast of Java. The violent 1883 eruption of this volcano killed tens of thousands of people from its pyroclastic flows and subsequent tsunami and darkened skies around the planet for several years. Anak Krakatoa, or New Krakatoa, is now forming new domes and cones.
