Kilauea’s active east rift zone is marked by the chain of craters.
Summary: Located within Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, the Chain of Craters road traverses Kilauea from its summit caldera through islands of native forest surrounded by frozen rivers of lava (remnants of historic eruptions of the east rift zone reaching as far as the ocean) and finally comes to an abrupt end where cut off by recent lava flows. It provides access to many different facets of Kilauea, from volcanic craters to native forests to ancient trails and petroglyphs, unique lava formations, black sand beaches and sights of the active eruption.
