~ Pele's Pot-O-Gold is Witnessed ~

Two friends dare to get close enough to an opening into molten earth: a skylight in the roof of a lava tube, exposes a tiny bit of a huge river of lava rushing toward the ocean a mile away. You can see the fuming earth beyond them where the lava tube is still crusted over but releasing sulfur dioxide gasses. The double rainbow was a plus!

  • ~ Pele Roars #6~<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.

  • Waikupanaha Inferno -- Ghost Trees-ONE- (See the classic 'Ghost Trees' shot in the main Hawaii Volcano Lava gallery- last page)<br /> <br /> Molten lava spreads across the surface of older lava and takes out trees along the way towards the sea where it enters the ocean (The upper right glow is the plume of the ocean entry lava)<br /> <br /> Those trees you see are ghost trees in a way-- they have already burned like a torch, what you see left are white ashy limbs-- they were very strange to see.<br /> <br /> October 23rd, 2009, Island of Hawaii
