Lava flow into ocean

Back



Lava entering the Pacific Ocean, from the Kilauea volcano on Hawaii, in Volcanoes National Park. It is the East Lae'apuki entry point of the PKK lava flow. This volcano has been erupting since 1983, and this lava flow has been active since 2004. The noise you hear is not the lava entering the water, it is actually the wind on the mic of the camera. This was video is from about 100 yards (meters) from the lava, so any noise is from the tradewinds (and not the lava). I zoomed in with our Canon PowerShot SD800 IS Digital Elph. . This is how all of the Hawaiian islands were formed- over the past 40 million years or so. Truly the most amazing thing my wife and I ever saw.

theres more water than lava so it slowly cools

wouldn't it be nice to have an under water camera to capture the lava, as it makes contact with the water.
