Out for a Drive

I knew I would be up late again tonight but wanted to check out where the lava had flowed during the last eruption. I've neglected to take photos for you so hopefully before I leave I'll take some. What I can say, however, is that it is unbelievable how much lava flowed down towards the sea.
