I recently went on a surprise helicopter ride with my boyfriend to see all the lava flows on Big Island. What a great ride it was! Seeing the island from a new perspective is a great way to be reminded of it’s beauty, and getting to see my boyfriend fly a helicopter is also a great reminder of how amazing he is as well! This picture is of Pu’u O’o vent, which is the origin of the Kalapana Lava flows that are going into the ocean currently. You can see these lava flows in person via 3 ways:

Lava Boat Tour

Hiking into Kalapana

Helicopter Tour

So far I have written about Lava Boat Tours, and now Helicopter Tours. I’ll be sure to post about hiking into Kalapana soon as well.

As always feel free to contact me for further info or company recommendations.

Valley of Fires in New Mexico. Around 5,000 years ago, Little Black Peak erupted and flowed into the Tularosa Basin. The Malpais Lavaflow is an example of pahoehoe lava and is considered one of the youngest lava flows in the continental United States. #valleyoffires #lavaflows #lavafields #lava #lavaropes #carrizozomalpais #carrizozomalpaislavaflow #malpaislavaflows #pahoehoe #desertvegetation #cactus #newmexico #ramostfamous (at Valley of Fire National Recreation Area) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bst7IGrBqLI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=cx6ooq78qgix

The Valley Of Fires Recreation Area, in The Carrizozo Malpais. 🌋 . “The Carrizozo Malpais is a large lava flow on the west side of Carrizozo, New Mexico, on the northern part of the Tularosa Basin between Sierra Blanca to the southeast and the Oscura Mountains to the west. The lava making up the flow came from Little Black Peak, about 10 miles north-northwest of Carrizozo. It reached about 40 miles south-southwest along the bottom of Tularosa Basin in two active flows. Initial age estimates ranged from 1,000 to 1,500 years ago, but recent cosmogenic dating techniques revealed the eruption date is 5200 ± 700 years ago. At their southern end, the lava flows are about 12 miles north of the dune fields of White Sands National Monument. The Carrizozo Woman's Club helped protect this state area. The Valley of Fires Recreation Area provides access to the Malpaís on its east edge, about 3 miles west of Carrizozo on U.S. Route 380. The highway has several scenic overlooks where it crosses the Malpaís. The entire extent of the flow can be seen from higher elevations to the east on U.S. Route 380. - Wikipedia This video is from Visit New Mexico. . #ValleyOfFires #ValleyOfFiresRecreationArea #LavaFlows #AncientLavaFlow #CarrizozoMalpais https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo_CLd4hgJ-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jwkykwsjf1fv
