Kazumura Cave, Lava tube cave system in Hilo, United States.
The Kazumura Cave extends for 65.5 kilometers beneath the eastern flank of Kilauea volcano, featuring natural formations of volcanic stalactites and basalt walls.
Between the 14th and 17th centuries, continuous lava flows from the ancient Ailaau cone created this extensive network of underground passages.
Native Hawaiian traditions recognize this underground system as a physical connection to Pele, the goddess of fire and volcanoes.
Guided tours require sturdy footwear and warm clothing as the cave maintains a constant temperature of 16.1 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The cave contains specific geological features where multiple lava flows created distinct layers, documenting different volcanic episodes in its walls.
