Lava Tunnels• When lava flows the outer

part of the stream gets cold and hardens, but the liquid magma within continues flowing. When it is empty tubes are left behind. This is what happened in Santa Cruz Island several times, leaving an island full of lava tunnels. The most frequently visited is the "Tunnel of Endless Love", it is named this because of the heart shaped hole in the roof of it.
