Waikupanaha ocean entry: A 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, glass particles, ash, rock, and black sand. As the molten lava pours out of the lava tubes that carried it from the volcano above, it instantly explodes into black sand and rock fragments. Many of these molten chunks will continue floating and streaming on the ocean.

  • ~ Dawn of Creation ~ Hawaii's Active Lava Flow Before the Sun Comes Up <br /> <br /> One of my most popular active lava images: Pre-sunrise dawn light illuminates the scene where molten lava flows out the end of massive lava tubes stemming from seven miles upslope at Kilauea volcano on the island of Hawaii's south side. The shoreline rocks are fuming and the sea is steaming on each side of the new black sand beach, which formed recently when lava exploded into the ocean there.<br /> Prints beautifully to 30x40-inches
