I'm in Hawaii right now in transit to Australia with 7 colleagues. Our days have been jam-packed with geological activities so far, no time for jetlag. Weather has been pretty good and the people are very nice and accommodating.
Here is a group shot in front of the main caldera that is currently spewing gases and ash into the air shutting down parts of the park.
This is a closer view of the eruption occurring inside a crater within the caldera. 
Ropy Lava.

This is a separate volcanic crater through which we hiked. It was a little creepy to walk in this desolate lava-lake with steam coming out from between the cracks (ground water).
Ropy Lava. This is the house we are staying in. Very Big.
