Toe of an advancing pahoehoe from Mauna Ulu on black sand at Kaena Point, October 11, 1972. The “skin” on such flows is said to be flexible enough to support a man’s weight. Jumping on the skin may cause molten lava to be forced out the toe. Photo credit: D.W. Peterson, Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, U.S. Geological Survey
