EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the raw power and destructive beauty of nature as lava flows from a fissure in Leilani Estates subdivision on Hawaii's Big Island. Taken by Frederic J. Brown, this image serves as a haunting reminder of the devastating eruption of Kilauea volcano that occurred on May 4,2018. The photograph showcases the mesmerizing sight of molten lava spewing out from the earth's core, creating an otherworldly scene against the backdrop of a darkened sky. The fiery red hues contrast with the surrounding landscape, leaving viewers in awe of both its destructive force and stunning visual impact. However, beyond its aesthetic appeal lies a story of human displacement and resilience. As many as 10,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes due to this volcanic eruption following a series of recent earthquakes. This image encapsulates not only the natural disaster but also highlights how communities come together during times of crisis. Frederic J. Brown's skillful composition allows us to witness this extraordinary event up close while reminding us that our planet is constantly evolving and can unleash immense power at any moment. It serves as a testament to AFP's commitment to capturing significant moments worldwide and bringing them into our lives through powerful imagery like this one.
