Savai'i is the largest shielded volcano in the South Pacific. And in the early 1900s, a volcanic eruption slowly spilt molten lava for six years across 50 square kilometers of Savai'i. Sadly, it buried five villages. And today you can visit the lava fields and see the remaining ruins that have survived the test of time.
