Hawaii Volcano National Park
I virtually visited Hawaii's Volcano National park, for two reasons. The first one was that my brother, while in the Navy lived in Hawaii, and never even got to visit most places, so together we were able to look through the tour. The second reason was that I live on the east coast where igneous rocks are very hard to find. Since igneous rocks are formed when molten rock solidifies. So this was the perfect place, because of the many still active volcanos.

On the virtual tour of Pu'u Loa Petroglyphs, all you can see is fields of igneous rock as far as the eye can see. There are places that still have active flowing lava, but the fields that are hiked in this specific spot hasn't had lava in a long time. This park consists of almost all igneous rock.
