We had to get up very early.

We got in the helicopter as the sun was rising.

And it took off.

And we flew high over the ground.

Above the clouds

Which really interfered with the scenicness.

Fortunately the clouds started to clear.

And then we could see the mini-volcanos.

And the big ones.

And the bigger ones.

And the biggest one of all.

Then we went over to the active one.

Which had molten lava inside.

It was splooping.

Further down the mountain it was flowing

Slowly flowing

And cooling and crusting.

There were small islands that the volcano hadn’t set on fire.

This was a bigger one.

You can see where the road used to be.

At the edge there were a lot of dead trees.

Then we were back over the green part of the island.

The clouds were all gone.

Then we went to the coast.

And saw some whales.

And some waterfalls.

Very steep waterfalls.

These ones were more inland.

They were also steep.
