Volcanic caves, also known as lava tubes, are born from fire and lava. These unique caves form when flowing lava cools and hardens on the surface while the molten lava beneath continues to flow.
Once the lava drains away, it leaves behind a hollow tube. Volcanic caves can be found in regions with recent volcanic activity, such as Hawaii and Iceland. They offer a glimpse into the fiery processes that shape our planet.
