General view of new Kohola ocean entry, looking east from Ka Lae`apuki, of cascades and new flow coating beach. Sea cliff is about 10 m high. Wispy glow near center right edge is from steam at water's edge.

Steam generated by entry of lava into water reflects incandescence and appears reddish.

Detail of largest breakout feeding lava into water (near right of image). Flow is about 7 m long

Lobe of lava moving along west edge of flow reached top of sea cliff and began plunging to beach below. This image was taken several minutes after the falls began. Liquid lava is 2-4 m wide.

Near view of flat toe moving across quite flat surface. Note that lava at moving front of toe is emerging from base and cooling as it rises. Flaming grass at front of another toe.

Lava pours down flank of 4-m-high tumulus in old (>600 year) flow. Lava comes from interior of Kohola flow, which banked against north side of tumulus, inflated over the top, and now spills down steep south side. ( See the eye in the upper left corner? )
