  • Rupturing lava tube high upon the slopes above the decimated Royal Gardens subdivision; the ocean in the distance and coastal lava plains. The molten lava is being fed from the erupting Kilauea Volcano Pu`u O`o crater four miles further up the mountain.<br /> <br /> WATCH THIS SCENE IN ACTION ON MY VIDEO HERE: <a href="http://www.leigh-hilbert-photography.com/Molten-Lava-Hawaii/Molten-Lava-Videos/11950129_8MK6Qx#!i=1768679956&k=rQWsqQQ">http://www.leigh-hilbert-photography.com/Molten-Lava-Hawaii/Molten-Lava-Videos/11950129_8MK6Qx#!i=1768679956&k=rQWsqQQ</a><br /> <br /> IMAGE # LRH_0475-2
