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.

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. 😀
