A lavalava, sometime written as lava-lava, also known as an 'ie, short for 'ie lavalava, is an article of daily clothing traditionally worn by Polynesians and other Oceanic peoples. It consists of a single rectangular cloth worn similarly to a wraparound skirt or kilt.[1] The term lavalava is both singular and plural in the Samoan language.

Today the fashion remains common in Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga and parts of Melanesia and Micronesia. It is worn by men and women in uses from school uniforms to business attire with a suit jacket and tie. Many people of Oceanic ethnicity wear the lavalava as an expression of cultural identity and for comfort within expatriate communities, especially in the United States (notably Hawaii, Alaska, California, Washington, and Utah), Australia and New Zealand.

The lavalava is secured around the waist by an overhand knotting of the upper corners of the cloth; women often tuck the loose ends into the waistband, while men usually allow them to hang in front. Women generally wear ankle-length lavalava while men's wraps often extend to the knee or mid-calf depending on the activity or occasion.

Prior to the arrival of Europeans in the Pacific Ocean, the most prestigious lavalava were made by wrapping the body in a 'ie toga with fine mats (finely woven textiles of pandanus leaves) or siapo (tapa cloth) pounded from paper mulberry or wild hibiscus bark. The Samoans also created lavalava from traditional materials such as flower petals, leaves, feathers and seashells tied to a wrap-around backing of plaited plant fibers.

Loudly colored lavalava made from materials such as satin, velvet, polyester, and sequins have recently been popularized among performance dance groups and village, church, or school-based choirs.

In English, such garments are generically called sarong, but that word is actually Malay, whereas lavalava is Samoan, being short for ie lavalava (cloth that wraps around). Another common name for the Polynesian variety is preu (usually spelled pareo), which is the Tahitian name.[12] In Tonga, the garment is called tupenu. In New Caledonia and Wallis and Futuna, lavalava are called manou. A similar simple kind of clothing is the lap-lap worn in Papua New Guinea and the South Pacific, which is completely open at both sides.

The lava tube looks daunting once you reach the bottom of the stairs: a short rock scramble and then a dark tunnel that is so low you have to hunch over or crawl to get through (be sure to have a light source and watch your head!).

You know a place is special when locals head to it for their in-state vacations. Follow the lead of Seattleites and venture to beautiful Bainbridge Island in the heart of Puget Sound on the Kitsap Peninsula. Hike the Grand Forest here, meet Pia the Peacekeeper, and enjoy tasty food and drinks.

I start by finding a reference for lava cake and real lava, and I combine it into a really rough sketch, using just large blobs of color with a basic round brush. This lets me check the composition without spending too much time on it.

The lava is not as difficult as it looks, but important to pick the right colors and use reference correctly. Based on the reference, I analyze which colors are where, how lava flows over rock, where lava is red, orange, yellow, and when it becomes black.

I start by laying down orange for flowing lava on top of the dark brown, and add some less saturated brown to indicate the hardening layers of the lava. The further away the lava is from the hot center, the cooler it becomes, and so there's more yellow in the center and more dark rock on the edge.

Walk through a verdant rainforest and listen for the calls of native birds before entering a 500-year old lava tube where a river of 2000 degree fahrenheit (1093 celsius) lava once flowed. Its Hawaiian name, Nhuku, means "the protuberances," which possibly refers to the lava drippings that once hung from the ceiling. Unfortunately, those disappeared due to souvenir collectors after the tube was discovered in 1913. Entire ecosystems of creatures live in these fragile environments found throughout the Island of Hawaii. Please be respectful and do not touch the walls or any hanging roots.


For a longer and more scenic adventure, explore Devastation Trail, Ualoha (Byron Ledge), the Klauea Iki loop, and Nhuku all in one hike by parking at the Devastation Trailhead or Puupuai. Parking at the lava tube and Klauea Iki Overlook is extremely limited and is likely to be full during peak hours. Want to avoid the crowds? Start your lava tube adventure before 9 a.m. or after 4 p.m.

Contact with Lava deals 80 damage per hit on players and 50 damage per hit on enemies, and inflicts the On Fire! debuff on both. Lava also slows movement the way Water does. The Obsidian Skin Potion makes players immune to Lava damage, and the Lava Charm and its derivatives will allow players to be safely submerged in lava for 7 seconds.

Lava flows downwards and horizontally, settling and taking the shape of any block formations below and beside it, the way Water does; however, Lava is more viscous than Water, flowing more slowly. It also emits a medium amount of flickering light. Lava can be moved by the player via a bucket or pump. After flowing 50 blocks in a direction, lava will begin to evaporate, causing the source to be lost. Lava will destroy most furniture and platforms, except Obsidian and tag_hash_109tag_hash_125 Stone Platforms.

Most dropped items of White Rarity (which includes all Coins) will be destroyed when submerged in Lava past their vertical midpoint. Blocks cannot be placed directly within Lava, but falling blocks like Silt and Sand can fall into it, resulting in placement at its bottom, and these can be stacked until reaching the Lava's surface to form a safe bridge over it. Silt and Sand blocks placed this way will revert back to Lava if mined away. However, one can use this method and log out. Upon logging back in, most of the lava will be gone.

Like water and honey, lava can be used as a minor crafting station. It works just like those two; in order to use it the player only has to stand nearby. Creation of items from a body of lava does not lower the lava level at all.

A shallow lava pit underneath a structure will kill all walking enemies as they attempt to jump towards you while you're in your house, and if shallow enough, will gather their drops in one location for easy collection later. You can also use this technique to upgrade regular pits. Standing underneath the pit will lure most enemies toward you, with even some flying enemies diving into the lava.

Lava will destroy any item of White rarity (Other than the aforementioned exceptions) including Coins, if it is deep enough for the item to sink past its midpoint. (That is, items with larger sprites can survive deeper lava.) This allows making pits with lava just deep enough to burn copper coins, but (almost) nothing else:

The ice, fruits, and mixers tend to make frozen cocktails rather light. Though it's just an estimate, the lava flow is a low-proof drink, weighing in around 5 percent ABV (10 proof). It's similar to the average beer, but this drink is far more delicious.

For a mocktail version, skip the rum, and you'll have a fun and delicious drink minus the booze. Blend the strawberries into a pure or add about 1/2 cup of water or coconut water for a thick, syrupy consistency. Alternatively, make a virgin Miami vice; the only additional ingredients are half and half, lime juice, and simple syrup.

Coconut cream is a high-fat, unsweetened cream that has less water than coconut milk. It is often used as a thickener in food recipes. Cream of coconut is much sweeter and richer, which is why it's often used in cocktails like the pia colada. While lava flow recipes often use coconut cream, you can use cream of coconut to make a sweeter drink.

Our sarongs and lavalavas are made of silky quick-dry polyester fabric, perfect for sunny days on the beach. Use as a wrap skirt or swimsuit cover-up. This sarong boasts a colorful, casual, island style.

This level is volcano-themed, and has many pits of lava with slow-moving platforms to get across them. Many boulders are also here that crush Wario beneath them, but do not cause him damage. It is the first level to introduce Volcannons as enemies and have a Pitchfork as the golden enemy. When Wario first approaches the volcano, he encounters the slow-moving platforms and Volcannons. He then enters the volcano, where the boulders can be found. When Wario frees the caged Merfle and begins his escape, he will have to outrun a boulder, and another hidden large boulder waiting for him will lead him towards more coins.

Mt. Lava Lava also has a Secret Map. To get the map, Wario must free the Merfle and go into the hole without pounding. Wario then needs to Earthshake Punch and stay ahead of the boulder until he reaches a rope. He must swing on it and wait for the rock to pass, then pound an Earthshake Punch to reveal the map.

This long sinuous feature extends about 48 km across Oceanus Procellarum. What is this strange feature consisting of ridges and elliptical and curved pits? Perhaps it was originally formed as a lava tube?

Caused by an eruption of basaltic lava, lava tubes form as flowing lava cools and crusts; the crust insulates the flowing lava allowing hot to flow for great distances. After some time, perhaps due to seismic events or an impact event, lava tubes can succumb to gravitational collapse. As a consequence, a chain of pits can form along the tube. The large irregularly shaped crater-like formation at the upper left of the image is potentially the source vent for the lava flow. If there are lava tubes at Gruithuisen K, they could be as wide as 500 meters!

Because the lunar surface experiences major temperature fluctuations, cosmic radiation, and meteorite impacts, some researchers have proposed that habitats be set up inside sublunarean voids to protect people and equipment from these hazards!
