Multidisciplinary efforts are currently boosted by an urgent need to improve our understanding of Earth’s lava systems in sight of their future exploration on other rocky bodies of the Solar System. Among the many structures documented in lava fields, lava tubes are one of the most enigmatic. They constitute a peculiar type of caves dug by molten lava flows. These roofed conducts are very efficient thermal structures enabling channelizing lava transport over long distances. The longest lava tubes are found on volcanic plateau characterised by a gentle slope (<2°) or on volcanic islands (e.g. Hawai’i, Canaries, Iceland, etc.).
