New and newer
New basalt rock is seen here being covered by a new layer of lava. Yes, the red bits show how hot it is but the silver of the flow is deceptive. The surface has cooled to a solid but just under the surface it is molten and red hot. The heat radiating from the flow is amazing.

Beautiful lava shot – I like the play of light and shadow on the surface.

Is this the stuff called ‘pillow lava’?
GeoGecko replied
Nope, pillow lava forms from lava extruding into a submarine environment – this is pahoehoe, highly fluid lava flowing across a terrestrial landscape.
