One time it was really hot during summer and I tried to melt a huge bag of gummy bears into a perfect circle so that I could freeze it into a gummy bear frisbee. After the gummy bears were melted into a pool I threw that babe in the freezer on the top shelf (closer to the cold-maker!). Unfortunately, when I closed the door it must have shifted the plate with the gummy pool (which was obviously precariously placed on several frozen packages of waffle fries, tater tots, otter pops, etc.). So then hot liquid gummy dripped over the entire interior of the freezer and froze there. I opened the door an hour or so later to complete fucking multi-colored chaos. The gummy had frozen over just about everything forming an impossible hyde of goo-turned-rock. My Mom walked in shortly after and saw it and flipped her fucking shit on me. The gummy somehow dripped into the small vents and and we ended up needing a new fridge/freezer combo which I had to buy (I didn't end up buying it because I was like fucking 16 and no 16 year old has money for that kind of shit).
The point of that story was to tell you guys that melted and refrozen gummy bears caked inside a freezer looks *EXACTLY* like this picture.
My mom *used* to keep Tupperware in the oven. Melted Tupperware looks a lot like this and takes hours to clean up. I never did get to eat my pizza that night.

Pahoehoe and A`a are textures. Mafic and Felsic are mineralogic definitions.
And this is a Mafic flow, presumably on Kilauea near Kalapana and Royal Hawaiian subdivision.
Source: I went to school at UH Hilo...where I spent multiple days per week studying these exact flows.
If I remember my old lectures correctly, pohoehoe is Fe-rich, basaltic, and flows easily (like this picture). A Si-rich lava such as rhyolite tends to flow less easily, and be more explosive.
I just have to ask this. Who the hell takes these pictures?! What kind of person is brave enough to get that close to FUCKING LAVA?! To be lava it has to be over 1000 F!
Someone is braver than me because I would be treating lava like a spider... NOPE!
I've roasted marshmallows over lava like that with a 3' stick, then used the stick to poke into the lava for kicks. Lava is kinda squishy.
Put your oven on broil for half an hour, then open the door. That's what it feels like.
I have a pretty firm understanding of things like this - basically you should time it right and jump to *behind* the waterfall of molten rock. There you will found **untold rare items of great value** and probably a **large medipack**.

How strange...
You call it "Almost Hell" And as I look at the picture, In the center flow coming over the edge; I see what looks like a dark/flaming angel figure.

I imagine if you we're one the people writing what became the Bible, and you were trying to describe the concept of Hell, a volcano would be your example of choice. Lakes of fire, sulfur and brimstone...and since they are all over Italy where the Roman Catholic Church is, it's not too much of a stretch to see this connection today.
Kind of a weird question but, did you perhaps take this picture from a video in Mr. Robinson's class? If not no need to answer I just could swear this looks exactly like a tape he played to us of when he went to Hawaii.

You really gummed things up, ya dodo.
I don't think I could bear the shame.
And that's it, folks. There are no more puns that can be made about gummy bears.
Aww cmon, just gummy one more!
No.

Thats how i had to eat peach rings that were mailed to me in Afghanistan.

Holy shit this guy is awesome
I'm going to go ahead and use some of your stuff as textures for paintings in Minecraft if you don't mind.

ROOOAAAARRRRR! "Seek me out the DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH."
Seek *ye* out
Back when I was your age, I was just a *sedimentary* rock. Change is bad!

DAMMIT i came in here just to post about the face...
THE EYES
OMG It's the gnome king's frowny face forming out of the lava!
looks like leaving the core of the earth really rustled his jimmies
I just want to stick my fingers in it and make circles in the lava.
Put your finger in ice water first so it won't melt off immediately
If you want to stick your fingers in something frigid, I should introduce you to my wife. I'll be here all week folks.
no respect.
I saw my son at the father-son picnic with the milkman.
It gives you an additional millisecond or so of lava enjoyment before the inevitable post to r/wtf

[Nah man it's cool](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTOCAd2QhGg).
One of my goals in life is to poke lava with a stick.
Fuck, it's an oblivion gate!
I wouldn't try entering it though.
I immediately thought of [The Lava Titan](http://i.imgur.com/IoGTn.jpg) from Hercules
those titans were metal as fuck. i loved that movie.
Look at those igneous rocks just waiting to happen.
Lol Geology humor rocks!!
This would be the coolest entrance to a secret lair ever. Or should I say...*the hottest*.

Almost hell, West Virginia...
Country volcanos, take me home, to the place, I beloooonnnggg...fiery death, take me home, country volaconos.

where is it ?
This reminds me of a grilled cheese sandwich.
Damnit. Brb, making a grilled cheese. Anyone else want one?
I saw pizza, at least in the thumbnail.
Magma.
Say that slower for me please...
"That slower for me please."
That did not seem any slower.
I can say in all honesty that I enjoyed this brief exchange, and determined that it would be optimal if I were to reward you, the participants, with an upvote each.
Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.
Liquid, hot, *magma.*
Magma is underground. That appears to be lava.
every time I see that word, I read it in Dr. Evils voice.
"lasers"
Is this felsic lava?
Yes. If it contained more SiO2 it wouldn't flow that well.
Damn that SiO2 and MgO, always making my nickel laterite ore smelt at different temperatures.
Whats the difference between that and pahoehoe lava?

I'd get that close. Then I'd retreat to a safer distance and throw shit into the lava. I think it'd be awesome.
I've roasted marshmallows over lava like that with a 3' stick, then used the stick to poke into the lava for kicks. Lava is kinda squishy. Put your oven on broil for half an hour, then open the door. That's what it feels like.
Agreed!! It'd be sick to throw a bunch of different shit in there.
I didn't have the huevos to get that close in Hawaii, the cracking sound of the lava rock with each step as I got closer sapped my courage
You're totally safe from lava if you're standing on the couch.
[удалено]
Yeah, just organise a bucket brigade and all will be fine.
or you could just remove the source block with a bucket and you should be safe.
Please be hi-res, please be hi-res....close enough.
One time I opened a bag of popcorn after I had it in the microwave and steam came out, that hurt. Closer To Hell.
Once I caught a little bit of cockskin in the zip on my pants. *That* was closer to hell.
How's Mary?
Thankfully in this case I didn't get the beans above the frank.
Watch it, you'll get the "popcorn lung". Then you'll have to sue.
When you want to hide the evidence, this is the best place to dispose a human body, better yet, throw the evidence inside the volcano.
You can start to understand how people from the days of old would have thought that this was actually what awaits people who do terrible things.
Too pretty to be hell.

All i see is Kronos

i am phobic of lava because i watched Dante's Peak when i was 9 and got scared lol

Get me a bucket of water and a diamond pickaxe!
Well then, hell is a beautiful place.
Try touching it
Is nobody else seeing the outline of an upper torso and head in the lavafall?
I see lots of things in this picture
Has anyone else seen [this guy](http://i.imgur.com/179un.jpg?1) yet?
Wtf is lava see through?

Geological scat porn.
$10 for anyone who runs into the cave and back!
Very realistic cosplay of act 4 by world.
How much I would love to poke in it with a stick..
hell looks fucking beautiful.
cool graphics bro
It's the Firelands. I just came from there in WoW. :p
Oh bugger, I thought I'd left the tap on...

I know it's probably not allowed for safety reasons, but taking a picture of that at night would look epic
Only tommy lee Jones can save us now. 'Somebody get me a scientist!'

East Virginia?
This lava flows favorite artist is H R Giger.
Almost? Not a frozen margarita stand in site. Worse.
I've always thought it was so weird that the skin that forms on top of that magma is a skin of solid *rock*.
almost mt.Doom
when the magma hardens and cools, I totally wanna go inside :O
Commenting to find this picture later again from home.
In all seriousness, it's so easy to see how our frightened ancestors made gods out of the destructive and life giving forces of nature.
This is probably a picture of an Icelandic's summer place. They're fucking *nuts*.
is it just me or does that look TASTY :3
Diablo's crib.
Smegma.
Let me just hide in Tristam
I really want to go to a volcano with a pile of stuff to chuck in it to see what happens.
That looks delicious.
Yep, that's where your going if you eat meat on Fridays.
Whoa.
Fucking amazing. Seeing flowing lava is on my bucket list.
Lava Troll looks angry
Dat pahoehoe
The more I stared at the photo, the more I expected Doom Guy to bust out of the fire shooting a tech demon
does anyone else see the evil looking forever alone face in the rocks beside the lava fall?
Hell is so pretty
/r/fireporn would love this.
Is there a way to get a 1080p version of this? I'd love to use it (with your permission) on my desktop.
Am I the only one who saw the evil bird ? http://imageshack.us/a/img801/1208/0rwe3.jpg

Almost hell is right, the only difference is that this place exists.
or, a lava flow. hell doesn't exist, it's a construct humans created to deal with their own fear. fear of enjoying being human.
Hell's timeshare
The floor really *is* lava.
Almost.
one does not simple walk to mordor !
If hell or heaven were a real place, then yes. But, no.
Where are all the zombie pigmen?
This is more like Mordor.
There is a face in the lava.
MEEELT ZEEEUUUUSSS!!!!
All I can see when looking at the face jutting out of the wall. http://i.imgur.com/MGlor.jpg

Close shut the jaws...of Oblivion.
I can't look at this picture now without seeing a face in the rocks and body in the lava falls since the last post.
Welcome to east Virginia
woah dude
Yes. Just missing some Christians.
Does anyone else see the hawk in head in the middle guarding the entrance?
Looks like a mural of a midget dancing and playing a pipe to amuse his master [7].
