After Royal Gardens: molten lava heads 2-miles to the ocean

Lava flows are powerful and fascinating to watch. We saw this one on Devour, below, and immediately watched it and the one above.

These are both from Kilauea’s Pu`u O`o crater, which “has been erupting continuously since January 3, 1983, making it the longest-lived rift-zone eruption of the last two centuries.” 

For a more personal take on the event, meet a man who lived next to the flows for 30 years.
