Volcanic Lava Flow Dawn

Wide static shot: A broad river of glowing molten lava flows slowly downhill across a blackened volcanic landscape at dawn. The lava's surface crust cracks and separates, revealing brilliant orange and yellow incandescent rock beneath. Where the flow meets cooler ground, steam and volcanic gases rise in thick white plumes that catch the pre-dawn light, turning pink and gold. The surrounding solidified lava field is textured with ropy pahoehoe formations in jet black. In the background, the volcano's summit emits a soft red glow against the deep blue pre-dawn sky where the last stars are fading. The lava flow branches into smaller tributaries that snake between solidified ridges. Heat distortion above the flow creates a shimmering mirage effect that warps the horizon line. The movement is hypnotically slow and relentless.
