Lava Meets Ocean!


Once upon a time....

On a beautiful moonlit night (July 26th) in the wee hours of the morning (1:15am) the lava flowed down the pali and into the ocean -- once again.

Like our post mentioned a few days ago (7/15) lava in the Puna District of the Big Island of Hawaii has been flowing for decades -- NON STOP!! However it has changed directions a few times.

Local residents have been waiting for this night for many months as Kilauea lava, flowing through the Pu'u O'o fissure has been making its way to the ocean. On more level land, it moves slower and spreads, but when it approaches the pali (cliffs) it moves rapidly.   Here are some stunning photographs taken by our neighbor Kris Burmeister.  There is also a link to more information on the flow.  CLICK on any photo for bigger view! Enjoy!
