Erin P. getting a lava sample from a rootless cone.  (Note the asbestos boots and safety rope so that we can drag her back if something goes wrong!) Mauna Loa as seen from Hilo. The low profile of this shield volcano is evident. Active vents on floor of Pu`u `O`o volcano, viewed from north rim. April 6, 2002.  Crust on the lava lake is overturning, sweeping toward camera in a counterclockwise direction. East Pond Vent is actively spattering and supplying lava into the lake. Crater rim is about 17 m above the black "bathtub ring" marking the high stand of the lake. (from USGS website)
