The living goddess of Hawaii's volcanoes

Legends come alive on Big Island, Hawaii, where Pele, the Goddess of Volcanoes, rules.

MYSTICISM, marvel and sometimes mayhem surround Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes on Big Island, Hawaii. Said to be the home of Pele (pronounced pay-lay), the Goddess of Volcanoes, Kilauea is as spirited and rambunctious as its dweller: spewing molten lava, devouring homes and villages, as well as giving life to new lands.
