Born of fire and formed by volcanic eruptions, the Hawaiian island chain emerged out of the ocean millions of years ago. Pele the goddess of fire and volcanoes, is the source of destruction and creation. This Pele 'Ohi'a towel shows the billowy smoke of a volcanic erruption filling the sky, while the hot lava flows down the volcano. A few 'ohi'a lehua flowers grow beneath the lava flow representing hope and the creation of new life after destruction. The 'ohi'a tree is one of the first plants to grow after a volcanic eruption. Embrace the fierce and gentle powers of the Goddess of fire and creation with this red hot Pele 'Ohia design.
