A time lapse of the Kilauea Caldera in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park just after sunset.  Smoke (vog) rises from an opening in the smaller crater of Halema’uma’u inside the main caldera.  After dark, the cloud is illuminated by the orange glow from the opening the the bottom of the crater which leads to a magma chamber below.


I also have some still images from the evening below.

It was beautifully clear and I could see the summit of Mauna Kea 30 miles away.
