Kilauea Lava Flow July 14, 2010

The new flow making its way to the ocean had reached the coastal plain and was only 0.8 miles from its destination. These clips show the destruction of a small vegetated area of small trees and underbrush. The encroaching lava was very fast and buried much of the vegetation before complete combustion had taken place. As a result, numerous jets of flaming gases can be seen breaking through the lava surface.

how long do those fires burn for? 

[volcanochaser]

@StickGuy0000000001 This was a small island of vegetation that had survived previous flows and it lasted only a couple of hours. Other larger areas will burn as long as hot lava makes contact with it. Most lava is now flowing over recent flows which have no vegetation.

Bello il rumore... a volte un pò da mettere paura.
