The detail photos are showing how the lava is reacting with the
sea water and vice versa. Because of the
sudden down cooling of the lava the flakin crust gets renewed the
whole time. As a result of this onion principal the liquid lava
reaches an amazing depth and in rare cases it is drifting like in
a nut shell for a little while on the water.Through
exposed tubes which were formed in minutes the lava was 'disposed'
here and clared away by the next billow.

60 cubic meter Hawaii, which say good bye to the main coast and

photo you can see exeptional the lava tubes from the under view. The
rock cracked in a line, were the lava tubes has weakened its cross

Advice:
Caused by the subterrain steam explosions, even big lava banks can
fall or slip without warnings into the deep ocean (see above).
If you are placed on a lava bank and you get involved in such an
event, kiss your ass and say good bye!
