Kilauea volcano erupted on Hawaii’s main island twelves days ago… and is still going.
Over a dozen homes have been destroyed and around 2,000 people have been told to evacuate their houses. The island is covered in huge ash clouds. With that all in mind, would you be keen for a round of golf?
Golf? In this scenario? With an actual volcanic eruption taking place and our lives in danger? With the recent lowering of the lava lake in the volcano’s Halemaumau crater raising the potential for even more explosive eruptions?
Yeah, go on then.
The spectacular photos were taken by photojournalist Mario Tama for Getty Images and really capture the spirit of the island’s inhabitants.
You wouldn’t catch me playing golf if there was a slight chance of drizzle, let alone at the foot of an active volcano. Looks like he has a great stroke too, holding that follow-through. Fair play to him.
