#7 Explosive Lava eruption Kilauea Volcano Lava Flow into the Pacific Oct 14 2010

This is one of several videos I shot Oct 13th and 14th while on the Big Island of Hawaii. We walked out from Kaimu Park which is at the end of Hwy 137 on the southeast side of Hawaii. The hike takes about an hour and a half each way and is a very easy walk along the newest part of the Hawaiian Islands. As you get within about 300 yards of the current "hot area" you will be crossing warm (some of it very warm) lava. The first trip out on the lava field we walked with a guide from one of the booths located at the parking area in Kaimu. The second night we went out earlier in the day, walking to the flow on our own.

After we got to the flow the second afternoon people came straight across an area that had been red hot liquid lava the evening before. The shelf changes constantly so of course BE CAREFUL if you choose to walk out on your own.

I will be copying this same description to each of the other Kilauea Volcano videos.
