The footprints were formed when people fled from an eruption of Kilauea in 1790, leaving impressions in the volcanic ash that hardened over time.
The footprints are preserved in a remote area of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, protected from the elements and human interference.
These footprints provide valuable insights into the lives of Native Hawaiians and their interactions with the volcanic landscape.
The site is considered sacred by Native Hawaiians, symbolizing the resilience and adaptability of their ancestors.
Due to their location within a protected area, access is limited to preserve the integrity of the site.
