Life returns slowly after destruction by lava flows. In this area, 30 years ago, there was dense rain forest until it was invaded by lava flows from the early stages of the Pu'u 'O'o rift zone eruption. Dead, half-burnt tree trunks and branches still lie around, some having left molds in the lava. Among the first plants to colonize the barren lava desert are small ferns whose green stands out from the dark or silvery pahoehoe textures. (Photo: Tom Pfeiffer)
