Lava from Kilauea destroyed three abandoned houses in the week of February 25 2008 in a nearly deserted neighborhood.Homeowner: 'It's very easy to outrun lava' Kīlauea is considered to be the present home of Pele, the volcano goddess of ancient Hawaiʻian legend. Several special lava formations are named after her, including Pele's Tears (small droplets of lava that cool in the air and retain their teardrop shapes) and Pele's Hair (thin, brittle strands of volcanic glass that often form during the explosions that accompany a lava flow as it enters the ocean).
