  • Ohia or Ohi'a Lehua (Metrosideros polymorpha, in the Myrtle family, Myrtaceae) is the most abundant tree in the Hawaiian Islands, and is one of the first trees to colonize lava flows, as here in Kilauea Iki crater. Its brush-like flower stamens are usually red. The walkable pit crater of Kilauea Iki (adjacent to the larger caldera of Kilauea) is still warm after last erupting in 1959, in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, on the Big Island, Hawaii, USA. Established in 1916 and later expanded, the park (HVNP) encompasses two active volcanoes: Kilauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive shield volcano. HVNP is honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Reserve.

  • Trampers hike the 10-mile Tongariro Crossing beneath Mount Ngauruhoe in Tongariro National Park, North Island, New Zealand. The volcanoes in this image are: Mount Ruapehu (with snow at far left, 2797 meters or 9177 feet, last erupted in 2006), Mount Ngauruhoe (upper middle, 2291 meters or 7516 feet elevation, last erupted in 1975), and Red Crater (foreground right, 1886 meters, last erupted 1926). Geologically speaking, both Mount Ngauruhoe and Red Crater are vents of Mount Tongariro. In 1990 and 1993, UNESCO honored Tongariro National Park as a World Heritage Area and Cultural Landscape. Tongariro National Park served as a location for fictional Mordor and Mount Doom in the "Lord of the Rings" Motion Pictures.

  • Along Minaret Road, two miles northwest of downtown Mammoth Lakes, the so-called "Earthquake Fault" is actually a fissure (10 feet wide and 60 feet deep) in a glassy rhyolite lava flow from Mammoth Mountain. The fissure is geologically recent, but older than its 160-year-old red fir and Jeffrey pine trees. The crack lines up with the nearby Inyo-Mono Craters. Inyo National Forest, Sierra Nevada Mountains, California, USA.
