Fireworks at Stromboli Volcano
Close view of a Stromboli Volcano erupting incandescent molten lava fragments. Strombolian eruptions are characterized by the intermittent explosion or fountaining of basaltic lava from a single vent or crater. The lava fragments generally consist of partially molten volcanic bombs that become rounded as they fly through the air.
Commotion in the Ocean
Lava from the banana flow of the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park pours into the Pacific Ocean. The banana flow was named for a forested area near the top of the volcano where there were some banana trees. The lava has created more than 500 acres of new land along the coastline.
Grand Entrance
The lava puts on a spectacular show as it splashes into the sea.
Planet Building in Action
Spigots are turned on, and lava pours into ocean off front of Highcastle Stairs bench. Each spigot is mouth of small lava tube within bench.
Up in Flames!
In this dramatic photo, a house is torched by a lava flow in Kalapana. Lava flows are masses of molten rock that pour onto the Earth's surface during an effusive eruption.
