While flying over the Pu’u O’o crater of the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii’s Big Island, Mick Kalber of Tropical Visions Video captured an unusual shot of what appears to be a glowing smiley face looking up at him.
It’s simply an instance of pareidolia — seeing familiar things or patterns where none exists — caused by the lava, but the shot has gotten Kalber quite a bit of attention since he captured it back on July 28th, 2016 (it even made it onto NBC Nightly News).
Here’s the video that produced the still frame above:
