(Hello everyone, at this time, we will travel to the Big Island of Hawai'i)
Click on the Picture to see a larger view.
The picture is a photo from the Space Shuttle as it passed over the State of Hawai'i. The picture shows the southern tip of the Big Island which is the youngest Island in the chain of Islands known as Hawai'i.
From this picture, you can clearly see South Point on the left. It is the southern most point in the Hawaiian Island chain, and it is the southern most point in the United States of America.
To the right is the Halema'uma'u Caldera, the Pu'u 'O'o vent and the entry point where the lava enters the ocean, it can be clearly seen from space. VOG, which is short for Volcanic (F)OG, it is mainly sulfur dioxide clouds that pass over and around the island.
And then, there is where we live. In the Puna district on the southern east side of the island.
Aloha,
