It was the first known lava tube in the world, at least by modern speleologists, and remained the longest known lava tube until the end of the 19th century. [1] While mentioned in the medieval historical-geographical work Landnámabók , Eggert Ólafsson was the first to give a thorough documentation of the cave in his 1750 travels of the ...

Cavaticovelia aaa is known from the Kazumura Cave system of lava tubes, [2] where it can be found on the walls of the cave especially near seeps and crevices. This species is usually found associated with cave slimes growing on lava tube walls. It is only found on the island of Hawaii.
Caconemobius fori is endemic to recently cooled (on the order of decades) lava flows on the big island of Hawai'i. It is one of the first species to colonize a lava field after its formation, arriving even before any significant plant life can take hold. It is unknown where the crickets occur once a lava field has been colonized by plant life. [4]

The 8.5 by 5 kilometres (5.3 mi × 3.1 mi) long Saunders is a volcanic island composed of an active stratovolcano , 990-metre (3,248 ft) Mount Michael , and a ...
Subglacial eruptions, those of ice-covered volcanoes, result in the interaction of magma with ice and snow, leading to meltwater formation, jökulhlaups, and lahars. Flooding associated with meltwater is a significant hazard in some volcanic areas, including Iceland, Alaska, and parts of the Andes.
An ice-marginal lava flow is a lava flow that comes into direct contact with a glacier or the margins of a large ice sheet. As the lava reaches the margins of an ice sheet, the front of the lava flow cools very quickly to form a barrier. Behind this barrier, the lava begins to pool, ceasing the contact between the hot lava and cold ice.
