Michael If you want to know how the lava continued to flow after the intro photo above, you just need to look at Figure 10; it was really impressive. On the website https://usarundbrief.com , you can see it much more clearly than in the printout. Not only in color, but also with the option to zoom in.

On the way there, we saw red lava streams pouring into the sea as if from thick fire hoses. I wanted to quickly attach the telephoto lens and get closer when we realized that it was just a temporary phenomenon--it had vanished by the time I was ready! And after a red-hot chunk emerged from the seemingly hard lava mass we were balancing over on the way back, we were very careful about where to set foot on. Oh dear!

At "South Point," there are these cliffs where fishing boats used to be lowered, and 40 to 50 feet below, the ocean waves are hitting the cliff. Two guys, maybe around 20 years old, just jumped right off the cliff and plunged into the water down there! I almost wanted to grab my swimsuit from the car and follow them -- but suddenly I remembered that I'm about to turn 36: almost on the brink of old age! So, we just photographed the guys and felt quite old.
