I'm so jealous! Great photos of the volcanic flow all aglow. And I love the one with you in the foreground and the pahoehoe in the background....What do they call this form of lava? In Hawaii (and I think the world over) they call it pahoehoe--supposedly the Hawaiian name for "rope" since the lava in this form resembles coils of rope. I wonder if your light-headedness could have been partially induced by noxious volcanic gases--H2S (hydrogen sulfide, i.e. rotten egg smell), and many other gases are common with volcanic vents....Just wanted you to know that I doubt anyone would put you in the Ugly American category.
