Amazing Closeup Photos Of Hawaii’s Erupting Volcanoes

These amazing closeup photos of Hawaii’s erupting volcanoes will bring you inside a never-before-seen world. Hawaii’s volcanoes are just one of the many reasons to visit these beautiful islands, and once you’ll look at this photo series you’ll easily convince yourself why you should book a trip.
Michael Shainblum created this unique photo series filled with closeup snaps of Hawaii’s erupting volcanoes, located in Hawaii Volcano National Park. Taking closeup shots of active volcanoes is no easy task, especially when you’re getting close to the molten lava.
Still, the photographer manages to capture flaming hot lava hitting the waves on the island’s shores and the pictures are amazing.

“It is hard to explain witnessing a moment like this,” Michael Shainblum says. “Watching lava pour out of the cliff into the ocean was incredible enough. To see a double rainbow form over the scene was unbelievable.”
“One of the most truly mystical scenes I have ever had the pleasure of capturing,” he added.
“For this collection I wanted to showcase this beauty in my own artistic way, through fine art landscape photography. However still keep these scenes natural and true to what I witnessed on my journey. For that reason, these images have been only lightly processed. All of these images are single exposures, unless listed otherwise…”
