Travel photographer Quang-Tuan Luong has put together this gorgeous video showcasing the active volcanoes of Hawaii National Park.

Even though he’s photographed each of the 59 U.S. National Parks, this is Luong’s first complete video — and it’s a stunner.

He writes, “One of the most mesmerizing spectacles of nature I’ve witnessed is lava flowing to the ocean as clouds of steam rise from the meeting of fire and water. I stood mere feet away from the 2000°F lava. After everybody had left, I stayed to record the pulse of the flow over an entire night.”
