The most active volcanoes on earth are Kilauea in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, seen by 3 million people every year, and, half a world away, its counterpart Piton de la Fournaise, on the French island of La Réunion in the Indian Ocean. They are characterized by extraordinary lava flows that travel great distances in a spectacular landscape. Together they form the focus of this dazzling photographic essay by two renowned photographers, Brad.G. Lewis and
Paul-Edouard B. de Lajartre.
