the lava flow from Kilauea on Hawaii’s Big Island periodically enters the ocean......

 the sight is spectacular...... but on this occasion Alexandre was in for a special treat.......

Kilauea (meaning ‘spewing’ )!!!.... is one of the world’s most active volcanoes.......

 in constant eruption since 1983....... 

and as red-hot lava at more than 1,000˚C (1,832˚F) flows into the sea.....

vast plumes of steam hiss up.... condensing to produce salty..... acidic mist or rain.....


A nice picture!.....But i am kinda worried for Alexandre......

who had to stand in Kilauea's acidic rain to take this picture  :-)

anyway....

enjoy!
