Are there evidences of lava tubes on Moon, Mars ? Hektor 07:34, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
IS there any evidence as to where lava can flow through man-made tubes such as subways and waterways (a la the movie Volcano that starred Tommy Lee Jones)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.205.70.254 ( talk • contribs)
I restored back the photo I had loaded earlier this year that wsiegmund had removed. The image there was blurry, and orange from the show cave lighting used. The uploaded image better shows the colors one actually sees in a tube and how it looks. Dave Bunnell 01:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
There should be a mention of the different natures of lava tubes. In my neck o' the woods, lava tubes are catagorized by being singular, multilateral, or multilevel tubes (or a mix between multilateral and multilevel). Charlie Larson mentions there's even another kind of lava tube, the "tube in tube" which fits into this same theme. Leitmotiv ( talk) 01:35, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
How many examples of Lava Tube do we need? Having long lists aren't very attractive to an article, and we really should put a limit. There already is a List of caves and it is full or red linked articles. I looked at the Chile lava tube on Lava tubes and the article itself is really unremarkable. Same goes for the Canada article. Should we limit it to outstanding examples like Kazumura (which is an unremarkable article too) and expand Kazumura? Figuring that Kazumura is the longest tube in the world and the "deepest" tube in the U.S. it probably needs a hefty expansion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leitmotiv ( talk • contribs) 22:10, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
In Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne, explorers follow lava tubes from an extinct volcano to a vast cavern 87 miles underneath Europe, exiting through a volcano in Sicily, in a highly fictionalized depiction of the real phenonoma of lava tubes. A lot of people first encountered the concept of lava tubes through the Verne novel. Naaman Brown ( talk) 15:22, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
"Surtshellir - For a long time, this was the longest known lava tube in the world" The phrase "For a long time" is particularly vague. If someone could find exactly how long, or at least rephrase this, it would be nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.185.176.70 ( talk) 19:26, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

Lava tube and Lava tunnel this one and too ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.240.206.224 ( talk) 15:32, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
"cave-like conduits" or "cave-like channels"? These are caves, see the Cave article. These terms should be changed to "caves". Senor Cuete ( talk) 23:58, 3 May 2017 (UTC)
I removed the "We don't need any more examples" note under the Examples section. Who is the "we" in this note? Where was consensus established for the addition of this rule?
This article should be open to any significant examples being added. The example I added, the Undara Lava Tubes in Australia, is a globally significant example.
Leitmotiv reverted my edit. I am re-adding the Undara Lava Tubes and also re-removing the note. If they want to establish a policy here, I suggest they do an RfC rather than acting in an autocratic ( WP:OWNERSHIP) manner. Oska ( talk) 05:03, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
@ Leitmotiv: I'm assuming you were the person who originally added this note? Can you please advise if this is correct. Oska ( talk) 08:37, 31 July 2019 (UTC)
I suggest we remove the examples section and replace it with a see also that points to a "List of Lava Tubes" page. I'd think that would satisfy everyone. Epachamo ( talk) 03:51, 4 May 2021 (UTC)
In the section that states that the largest lava tubes in the solar system are in Venus, the citation states: "The study has shown that lava channels certainly exist on Venus but are far larger in dimensions than any known elsewhere in the Solar System. Venusian channels cannot be properly compared to those on the Earth because of their vastly larger scale but making them closer to lunar dimensions. Many collapse features on Venus may be attributed to collapses resulting from the withdrawal of magma below the Venusian surface. Although conditions on Venus such as topography, lava type temperature etc. are very favourable for the formation of lava tubes, evidence for their existence is mostly circumstantial, although very compelling."
This does not establish that lava TUBES are even certain on Venus, much less that they are the largest in the solar system. Lava channels are not tubes. 67.168.228.147 ( talk) 01:23, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
I plan on removing many of the examples in the examples section and re-naming it to "Notable Examples" in accordance with established Wikipedia custom for the following reasons:
Regardless, I have created a List of Lava Tubes article that can and should be as comprehensive as possible as is standard for geologic features on Wikipedia. Additionally, I have changed the note to future editors to be less abrasive. Epachamo ( talk) 00:03, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
