Until now I thought lava caves were one-sided and boring. But your videos have sparked my interest in exploring a lava cave myself someday. Thanks for the great pictures. 👍✌

So easy to do that whenever Derek posts a video!😁

Hi Derek
Boy, this brought back memories of fun times during the original survey. My only complaint is that you didn’t include the o’hia roots.

Great camera work

[@williamorford6966]

Wow Derek!! This couldn’t have come at a better time. I’m in Lanzarote at moment. Hiking and exploring. I’m hoping to look at a few lava caves but as I’m not fully equipped I shan’t go to far for safety reasons. The thought of liquid rock moving through those passages if just mind blowing. I have found information about locations hard to come by but as this was a last minute break I’m not too worried. I’ll come back again with a helmet next time. 😀
