The Islands of Hawaii

U.S.A.

The Big Island of Hawaii

Volcanoes National Park

The Kilauea Volcano was sending lava into the sea. This giant steam plume marked the spot. I just had to get closer.

Here is the lava flow close-up. People who liked taking risks were next to the lava, as shown in my video. Now I waited for dusk to see what colors would appear.

With the camcorder on the ground, I zeroed in for an even better shot. The plume was about to change color.

As darkness fell, the plume turned bright to match the lava. I have it all in the video.

My best glowing plume. Very lucky timing, since Kilauea only does this when in an erupting mood. I did find my car in near-darkness without either a trail or injury. Back to the town of Volcano where I was staying.
