Walking across a broken lava field in the daylight is tricky at best. You can see where you are going, but one false step and you are down and injured. It really isn't "walking" it is more like hopping, leaping, jumping. Most folks walk to the lava in the late afternoon, get there when it is dark and then walk out in the dark using flashlights. Doing it that way gives them a bit of experience for the walk out. Gloria and Dan did it the other way. They walked in during the dark hours starting at around 4:00 AM. When they got to the lava, they were alone. Spooky.
Photographing lava in the dark is not easy. Digital cameras have a tough time autofocusing on the red/orange 2000 degree flowing rock. I will show you a couple of Dan's shots. In this one the lava is flowing to the cliff edge and falling into the water.

Dear Ernie, You may want to double check the names you have used. I think it is Dan not Dave. They sure took great pictures. :)
You are right. It is Dan not Dave. Thanks for letting me know. I think I fixed it.
