And people say geology is boring. Hah!

No way! Geology rocks!

Yeah, I know.

That's impressive. Makes me want to see comparison "before" and "after" pictures of the crater.

No schist.

I confess, that first video made me imagine Sam telling Frodo "Throw it in, already, Master Frodo!"

(Or possibly Gollum jumping in after the Ring, screaming "Noooo! My Precious!")

My sediments exactly.

I have a couple of before ones.. ;-) Haven't been out there in a couple years though.

Looks like it's in the same locations that it's been slowly eroding. Nobody is allowed to live there.

I walked out onto the lava plain below Kilaeua back in August 2005, a few days before they marked it off with caution tape, a month before a shift where it fell into the ocean (south east side).

Geology is fun.

I'm gonna magma judgement call. I can't granite you any points, guys -- those last two aren't puns. Your loess; igneous of the lava is no excuse. Not that anyone's really guilty -- no one's asphalt.
