Running on another planet

I ran the Kileuea Iki trail in the Volcano National Park yesterday, and it was like running on another planet. I started running on a trail in what looks like a rain forest, then at the bottom of the trail it turned into a black cinder rock cooled lava lake. Kileuea Iki (iki means mini or little) erupted about 60 years ago and when it erupted it created a lava lake 300 feet deep, that lava is still cooling and putting off steam(which I saw on the trail). If you come to the Big Island I would recommend this trail!
