Enter the realm of Pele, goddess of fire: mountainsides ablaze; molten lakes that glow in the twilight; pillars of acid-laden steam rising from the boiling sea where the lava flow hits the ocean.

Brad Lewis offers a sublime glimpse into the heart of creation. His photographs are accompanied by volcanologist and educator Jim Kauahikaua’s unique knowledge of science and Hawaiian myth.
