Black sand beach from lava fragments
Black sand beach from lava fragments, in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii, USA. The sand is pieces of lava that fragmented when it poured from a lava tube into the ocean. Waves then transported the sand along the coast until it began to collect in a sheltered area, forming this beach

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a black sand beach formed from lava fragments in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, USA. Located on the Big Island, this unique coastline showcases nature's artistic prowess. The sandy shore consists of tiny pieces of lava that fragmented as it flowed through a lava tube and into the mighty Pacific Ocean. The relentless waves then carried these volcanic remnants along the coast until they found refuge in a sheltered area, gradually forming this stunning beach. As you gaze at this image, you can almost hear the rhythmic crashing of waves against the volcanic shoreline. The contrast between the dark black sand and vibrant blue ocean creates an awe-inspiring visual spectacle. This photograph not only highlights Hawaii's geographical wonders but also offers insight into its rich geological history. It serves as a reminder of how powerful volcanic activity has shaped these islands over millions of years. Immerse yourself in this remarkable scene and let your imagination wander to distant shores where ancient forces have left their mark on Earth's surface. Science Photo Library brings us yet another breathtaking glimpse into our planet's natural wonders with this extraordinary capture.
