One of the places I have always wanted to visit is Hawaii Volcanoes, National Park. This park has a variety of opportunities to see extrusive igneous rocks since they are created when magma exits and cools as lava. The park has lava tubes that help lava travel to the sea. When lava cools down it creates the ceiling of the tubes. At the end of the tubes is where you can find most of the extrusive igneous rocks. It was amazing to see the glassy texture of the rocks in the tubes. The brightness of the lava before it hits the sea is beautiful. It is astonishing that something that is so bright and colorful can be so deadly. I wish that someday I get to witness this wonder of the world in person.
wow this picture is beautiful and this place looks really cool to visit. Love the post!
