Caption: A A Lava
Additional Description: There are several types of lava. The lava in this area is Block or A A lava. A A is a Hawaiian term which is pronounced Ah Ah. This is a basaltic lava characterized by a rough jagged clinkery surface. The blocks were formed as the lava cooled rapidly on the surface while molten lava continued to flow beneath. Like ice breaking up on a river, the blocks were broken and jumbled. The lava is solid and massive below the surface.
