Small new hornito, informally known as a carlito, near Kiln hornito near upper end of PKK lava tube. Such features form above a full tube and make a roaring noise as gas escapes through small openings in the roof of the tube. The hot gas keeps the rock inside the carlito incandescent. This guy is about 1 m high at most.
