Hot Magma at the Molten erupting Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii

This was filmed in April of 2007 on the Big Island of Hawaii. The volcano is called Mauna Loa and is constantly sending lava daily into the sea. When I was filming this the heat was UNbearable. When you get this close You don't want to fall over in the wrong place. I was about 3 to 4 feet at certain places and had to keep a safe distance, in case the lens on my camera melted. When I went to the ocean to film the lava coming into the ocean, I had to stay a safe distance away because the smoke you see are actually sulphuric fumes.

From the Author: The resolution has been reduced for MP4 Format, and I guarantee you it's real. The heat, the smell and the sounds were more than enough for me to believe that this liquid rock was real enough!

@srauvers Mauna Loa has not erupted since March 1984. Lava from that you filmed is technically from the Pu U O o vent on the east flank of Kilauea. Just thought you'd like to know...
