Awesome views of the active lava lakes in Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō

The level of the lava lake on the east side of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater is even with the crater's northeast rim. Standing at that spot afforded an eerie view looking across the surface of the lake. A scientist, rescuing equipment, is visible on the crater rim in the background. The view is toward the south.
