Pele’s hair usually form in lava fountains, lava cascades, and vigorous lava flows.
Being extremely lightweight, they often get carried away by the wind to places several kilometers away.
They have golden yellow color and looks almost like hair or straw.
This is not a birds nest.
Peles hair is not limited to Hawaii and can be found near other volcanoes of the world.
Sometimes Peles tears are found attached at the tips of Peles hairs.
Peles tears can tell volcanologists a great deal of information about the eruption.
The shape of the tears can provide an indication of the velocity of the eruption.
