Note from Frank in Hawaii ...
Lava runs under older lava in tube formations at various times. These tubes can be very thin and if you are walking over a lava field there is a chance you could fall through a tube into a running lava flow. If this occurs you could end up as kalua pig very quickly!  Just be aware of the danger of walking out onto an active lava field.
