Black & white medium format film photograph of a frozen pahoehoe basaltic lava flow at El Malpais National Monument. The image shows several areas of the flow that exhibit the classic “ropey” texture of pahoehoe.

Taking today’s #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #flowing in a slightly different direction.

Here’s a really lovely #pahoehoe basalt flow at El Malpais National Monument.

The twists and turns of a recent pahoehoe lava flow on Mauna Loa Hawaii. It’s unworldly. #geology #geoetc #hawaii #volcano #lava #pahoehoe

Rafted slabs of pahoehoe (ropey basaltic lava). These slaps were once flat, but have been moved by underlying moving lava. Kilauea, Hawaii #volcano #geology #geoetc #lava #hawaii #pahoehoe

Today is #VolcanoThursday & I present more from Simbalitos #GrandTour in #Iceland. Look at this tiny #pahoehoe #lava flow coming from the huge #lavaflow. We found it when we were on #hedgewatch at #Fagradalsfjall #volcano.
