Vog from Kilauea's recent eruptions turn the sun red. This produces beautiful, deep sunsets, due to the vog particles scattering blue light.

Kilauea is one of two of Big Island's 
active volcanoes, alongside Mauna Loa. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Kilauea has had 15 episodes of eruption since Dec. 23, 2024. The USGS states that Kilauea emits roughly 500 to 14,000 metric tons of volcanic smog, or “vog,” per day. Vog is composed of water vapor, CO2 gas, and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2). 

Vog is known to cause headaches, breathing issues, and susceptibility to respiratory illnesses, according to the USGS. Another effect of vog is the Sun being turned blood-red, due to the acidic particles in the vog scattering the Sun's blue light, thus leaving behind a gorgeous, deep red.

Bits of plastic lie tangled together and half-buried in the white sandy beach at Kaimana in Kailua. Plastics post a significant environmental challenge in Hawai'i, a state renowned for its stunning natural landscapes and rich biodiversity. The islands are particularly vulnerable to the impacts of plastics pollution, as ocean currents transport debris from distance shores.

From the Koko Head Ridge you can see the Koko Head Crater Botanical Gardens and the Hawaii Kai past it. The sun had just risen in the photo so for the first time in that morning hikers were able to see the town, gardens, ocean, and other mountains clearly.
