Waikupanaha Inferno -- Ghost Trees-ONE- (See the classic 'Ghost Trees' shot in the main Hawaii Volcano Lava gallery- last page)
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)
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.
