Visit Steam Vents, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii
After leaving Kīlauea Visitor Center on Crater Rim Drive, 0.8 miles ahead on the left are Steam Vents. Ground water seeps down to the hot volcanic rocks in this area and returns to the surface as steam. While standing at the Steam Vents, take a good look around. The area between the caldera's edge and outer cliffs of Kīlauea Caldera is a treeless plain. The ground just a few feet down is so hot that tree roots can not survive. But shallow-rooted grasses and plants grow here.
