Aorta.  Lava from Kilauea Volcano flows from a lava tube into the Pacific Ocean at the shoreline of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, west of Kalapana, in January 2013, boiling water into steam, creating new land, and making the Big Island of Hawaii even bigger. This photograph was taken before dawn from a boat offshore of the ocean entry, and provides a rare glimpse into the maw of an active lava tube, or perhaps straight into the beating heart of Pele the Fire Goddess.
