Yeah, that is a pretty mysterious red line. On the 1:25,000 map <br/>
(found on Topozone), it&#39;s marked as a &quot;Grant Boundary,&quot; so I assume <br/>
that means it&#39;s an old property line that predates the National Park. <br/>
I visited Hawaii Volcanoes NP back in 1996 on a geology class field <br/>
trip and can assure that while Halema&#39;uma&#39;u may not exactly be a lake <br/>
of molten lava at the moment, it&#39;s definitely an active vent. At the <br/>
time I visited the active (as in lava come up out of the ground as I <br/>
watched it) area was the Pu&#39;u O&#39;o eruption between the east rift zone <br/>
of Kilauea and the coast, and from what I hear it&#39;s still going. You <br/>
can hike along the Kilauea and Kilauea Iki calderas, but you can only <br/>
go up to the edges of Halema&#39;uma&#39;u and Mauna Ulu.<br/>
