man that is so really hot man if someone told me to go in their man i will say hell no because i dont want my body to be burning hot. man i wont even have the gunt to go in their because i will freak out and i pit you know one on this earth can jump in that lava.
@MrToematoe One third of the electric power on the Big Island of Hawaii is provided by underground heat. Water is pumped down deep wells and returns as steam to run the turbines. Other locations around the world with shallow heat reservoirs use this method to produce electricity or to heat water for heating homes, as in Iceland.
@MrToematoe Existing methods of pumping quick hardening cement into oil wells is far more efficient and safer than trying to work with liquid lava at 2000 degrees. Although steel will melt at 3000 degrees, it has virtually no strength at 2000 degrees and working with lava presents more problems than solutions.
@MrToematoe Lava becomes rock when it cools below 2000 degrees Fahrenheit. So it will become solid rock in air or water, but it will cool much faster in water.
@volcanochaser It would be cool to have a little candle wax volcano erupting liquid candle wax on a table in your house, which totally corresponds to this! It could be like a demonstration project of volcanoes. And I love how this video is 100% quality unlike many other lava videos for some reason. And it's also cool that new lava was filling up an older tube made of the same substance as lava. I love lava!
@frog1812 As lava flows, the surface is quickly cooled by the air since the air is about 2000 degrees cooler. This forms a thin crust on the lava. Since the lava is still flowing and expanding like a baloon inside the crust, the crust flakes off and makes a popping sound when it flies off. Conditions vary a lot, so the popping sound is more pronounced at certain rates of flow.
I have a 20X zoom, but I like to get as close as I can to reduce camera shake. I got to within five feet of the lava tube sequence so I could see inside the tube, but I couldn't hold my position for long because of the intense heat on my hands and face. You may have noticed the shaking at the end of the first sequence as I started to make a strategic retreat to a cooler position about 20 feet away. The deleted scene would have shown a blurry view of the ground as I moved away very fast.
Wood will catch on fire immediately if placed on liquid lava. However, it will take a few minutes or much longer if placed on crusted lava, depending on how thick and fresh the crust is. Lava crust is a good insulator and allows the liquid to remain hot and travel many miles without much loss of heat.
I heard from another hiker that you were up there. Yeah, it's distressing to see or hear the pigs in the area. Also, many birds just flying around after they lost their homes.
Reminds me of what I saw myself there last October, only these streams are faster. The draining at 1:50 is really beautiful and makes me feel very small, I don't know how to explain it :)
Some call it destruction, i call it "Creation" !!! I especially love sitting & watching it flow into the sea:).. be careful breathing that - made me super sick !
Very nice footage. I like how you caught the "rice krispies" sound of the small bits of lava flaking off of the older flows as fresh lava rolls over top. Also like how you stayed to record that draining then filling action. Was that flow coming down the Pali or was it from a nearby breakout?
Actually the flaking is from the new lava when the surface solidifies too fast and the interior is still flowing. Could be caused by being in contact with the cooler older rock. I think the lava broke out from under the inflating crust a few minutes before I got there. There was no stream coming all the way from the pali. Some hikers had just left the area just minutes before and there was just some small lobes of lava pushing out from under the recent crust.
Not too much to worry about today. When the hand holding the camera starts to burn, it's time to move back. It's more worrisome next to a hillside where you can't see what's coming over the top.

@MrToematoe All the Hawaiian Islands are made from lava. There are many other islands around the world which were also formed by other volcanoes.
