Dawn in Fiji

Dawn broke as we flew over Fiji and 35000 feet. Fiji is beautiful, even at our altitude. The island was dark and lush, surrounded by a large lagoon framed by a coral reef about 10 miles off shore. I don't know if there are active volcanoes on Fiji, but I saw two clusters of glowing orange light that looked like lava flows. A fellow passenger and I debated if it was lava or the lights of a small town. The color was too orange and thick to be man-made lights. I need to look that up, someday.
