BIG ISLAND: Volcanoes

Any use of any images in this website in violation of a written permit by the Author is a violation of european laws on intellectual property rights and is prohibited by these Terms of Use.

The Kilauea Volcano has a peculiar eruptive activity: it doesn’t make any explosion, but the same it’s able to pouring down huge quantities of lava, making brand new strips of land, just before the Ocean: that makes an ever changing landscape with the surrounding uplands.
From the volcano mouth, together with the smoke we can easily see thick orange clouds produced by the steam of fused core rocks, coming directly from the very centre of Earth.
When the lava reaches the Ocean, touching cold water, then come explosions, whistles, amazing steam clouds, staging an unbelievable primal show of real beauty.
The result of this striking event is the birth of new strips of land increasing the area of Big Island.
