~ Releasing Inner Earth ~ Lava pumps into the sea with explosive force, sending steam, sulfur dioxide, rock, ash, glass particles and tones of black sand skyward in a flash. The rock and sand return to earth close y but the rest of the particles sail for miles on the wind. Prints to 30X40-inches
~ Molten Lava Meets Pacific Ocean ~ Island of Hawaii July 08 A recent phenomenon; massive explosions take place at the base of the plume where molten lava is pumping into the ocean on the Island of Hawaii. The plume is comprised of steam, sulfur dioxide, hydrachloric acid, glass particles, ash, rock, and black sand. As the molten lava pours out of the lava tubes that carried it from magma chambers under the flanks of Mauna Loa’s Kilauea volcano above, it instantly explodes into black sand and rock fragments. Many of these molten chunks will continue floating and streaming on the ocean. This is the most ocean entry lava that has been seen here in local memory.

Lava Plume Funnel This plume is the result of a massive volume of molten lava shooting out of a lava tube that lies within the lava I am standing on while taking this photo. The lava explodes as it hits the ocean water resulting in tremendous heat, steam, sulfur gas, glass particles, rock and sand. So much turbulence often spawns heat tornadoes or water spouts. This spout is about 100-feet long.

~ Molten Lava Meets Pacific Ocean ~ A recent phenomenon; massive explosion takes place at the base of the plume where molten lava is pumping into the ocean on the Island of Hawaii. The plume is comprised of steam, sulfur dioxide, hydrochloric acid, glass particles, ash, rock, and black sand. As the molten lava pours out of the lava tubes that carried it from magma chambers under the flanks of Mauna Loa’s Kilauea volcano above, it instantly explodes into black sand and rock fragments. Many of these molten chunks will continue floating and streaming on the ocean. This is the most ocean entry lava that has been seen here in local memory.
