🌋 Lava Tubes of the World

These are notable lava tubes — hollow channels left when the molten core of a lava flow drained out and the roof hardened overhead, some large enough to hold a road, a temple or a whole forest inside, from Hawai‘i and Iceland to the Canary Islands and Japan. Each profile shows where the tube runs, which country it is in, and a plain-English introduction from Wikipedia.
