A'a lava looks completely different than pahoehoe lava as
it is formed. Whereas pahoehoe lava flows smoothly like
water or molasses, a'a lava tumbles in the form of small
rocks with very jagged sharp edges. The rocks are very
lightweight, as opposed to pahoehoe that is extremely
dense, and a'a rocks tend to pile up on each other with a
lava front that might be a few feet to 40 or 50 feet high of
tumbling red hot sharp rocks.

Pahoehoe Lava is one of the most interesting forms of lava.
Since it tends to flow more as a thick liquid it can pour uphill as
well as downhill and can create a huge variety of interesting
shapes.
SEEING THE WILDLIFE UP CLOSE
IS LIFE CHANGING!
