Brad Lewis, known as Volcano Man, photographed his friend Bern standing in front of exploding lava at the edge of Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii. Brad says: “Bern has hot lava literally landing at his feet. It is as hot as one can stand to be next to, and it and burns any exposed skin – but the images are just so cool.”
Brad, 54, who has been photographing the Kilauea Volcano, the most active on earth, for over 20 years, said:”It’s such stunningly beautiful, powerful force. Being near an eruption is an awesome experience.You are never quite the same after seeing flowing lava.”
