Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Molten pahoehoe lava flowing into the ocean
Lava flow. Dribble of molten pahoehoe lava flowing into the ocean at the Hawaiian coast. This lava flow originated from the Kilauea volcano, which is one of the worlds most active. Pahoehoe lava is a fast-flowing lava which typically solidifies into the twisted ropy forms seen here. The black rock which comprises the Hawaiian islands is entirely made from old lava flows. The continuous emissions from volcanoes such as Kilauea mean that the Hawaiian islands are still increasing in size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing sight of molten pahoehoe lava gracefully merging with the vastness of the ocean. The Hawaiian coast serves as a backdrop to this extraordinary natural phenomenon, where the relentless flow of lava from Kilauea volcano meets its aquatic counterpart. Pahoehoe lava, known for its swift movement, solidifies into intricate and twisted ropy formations upon contact with air or water. These unique patterns are beautifully captured in this image, reminding us of the immense power and artistry found within our planet's geological processes. The black rock that forms Hawaii's islands is a testament to their volcanic origins. Entirely composed of ancient lava flows, these islands continue to expand due to ongoing emissions from volcanoes like Kilauea. This perpetual growth ensures that Hawaii remains an ever-evolving landscape shaped by fiery forces beneath its surface. Science Photo Library presents this awe-inspiring snapshot as a testament to nature's grandeur and ceaseless transformation. It invites viewers to appreciate both the delicate dance between fire and water depicted here and the profound impact such phenomena have on shaping our world.
