lava flow from Kilauea....at night.....
wildlife photographer of the year finalist!
(
)
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!
