| One of the vents (at least one) lets out right in the sea. Very dramatic. © 2008 and 2018, D.W. Drang & The Cluemeter |

| Even in 2010, there was a section of highway that was closed, you could enter during the day, but after sundown the entrance was shut off. Great view of active vents at the time. Far enough back that stabilizing the typical handheld camera (or cellphone) was a challenge. © 2008 and 2018, D.W. Drang & The Cluemeter |

The Humuhumu...a little fish with a big name. Now you do know what the name means, right?
Those are some wonderful pictures. And the songs made me homesick.
Thank you for posting.
Humu humu nuku nuku apua'a.
It was years before I could say it without singing it. :-)
Ditto Kealakekua.
Great pics, and yes, mother nature is winning!
The Big Island is where we got married, and got our first RX dive-masks - and we have local friends living up in the north end at the end of the road. Saw a lot of Humuhumus out snorkeling, and tiny purple fishes that ran laughing through my fingers...
