Steam rises as lava flows into the ocean in Hawaii
Lava flow. Rising steam illuminated by 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. Lava reaches volcanoes from the Earths interior through faults in the crust, and is forced through them by the high pressure within the Earth. The black rock of the Hawaiian islands is made entirely 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 captures the mesmerizing scene of steam rising as lava gracefully flows into the vast ocean in Hawaii. The illuminated steam, illuminated by the fiery glow of molten lava, creates a breathtaking spectacle along the Hawaiian coast. Originating from Kilauea volcano, one of the world's most active volcanoes, this unstoppable force showcases nature's raw power. Lava, emerging from deep within Earth through faults in the crust and propelled by immense pressure, finds its way to these volcanic islands. Over time, countless lava flows have shaped Hawaii's distinctive black rock landscape entirely. It is a testament to the continuous emissions from volcanoes like Kilauea that these magnificent islands are still expanding. As this molten river meets with the cool embrace of seawater, it unleashes billowing clouds of steam that rise majestically into the sky. This collision between fire and water paints an awe-inspiring picture against a backdrop of endless blue. The Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this extraordinary moment where geology unfolds before our eyes. Through their lens, we witness nature's relentless cycle - where ancient forces shape our planet even today. Let yourself be transported to this remarkable scene and marvel at how something as simple as flowing lava can create such beauty when it merges with Earth's mighty oceans.
