Description
A hand with black sand covering the palm and fingers is shown against a backdrop of a similarly textured ground. The person is wearing a white long sleeve shirt, and their nails appear to be neatly manicured with red polish.
The black volcanic sand in this image comes from Punaluʻu beach, on the island of Hawaii. The jet black shore is located between the towns of Pāhala and Nāʻālehu in Kaʻū.
Black sand beaches are created when lava from an eruption flows out to the ocean. As the hot lava meets the water, it explodes into small micro-particles, sometimes forming a black sand beach overnight.
