You’re looking at the West Kamokuna Skylight on Kilauea, located in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. A lava skylight is an opening above a lava tube. This skylight is unique because lava also flowed over and then back down into the tube. This type of lava, by the way is called pahoehoe and these lumps are called “toes”! Kilauea is a very active volcano and erupted nearly continuously from 1983 to 2018.
