Last night (May 27, 2008) we went to see the eruption here on the island that's been going on since March. Here is a clip I took. You're seeing the lava from Kilauea plunging into the Pacific as it exits a lava tube, creating steam, super-heated seawater, and reacting with chloride in the water to create a cloud of hydrochloric acid. You also can see chunks of lava the size of Volkswagons being thrown n the air!
