Kilauea is one of the world's most active volcanoes, ejecting molten lava, gas, and ash onto the Earth’s surface, and inspiring awe and wonder in those who witness its fury. As the lava travels, it changes the landscape, leaving in its wake a course of destruction, ending at the sea, where it creates new purchase for coral reefs. Follow the path of Kilauea’s lava -- through vents, tubes and fissures -- in this interactive map.
