Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Lava meets the ocean

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - Three Waikupanaha and one Ki lava ocean entries as well as surface lava flow are seen at the image. You could see red lava entering the ocean at the first Waikupanaha ocean entry and a glow at Ki ocean entry.At Hawaii the lava usually moves inside lava tubes.The surface flow is rare. The meeting of lava and the ocean is so violent that one could often see Steam explosions, which spray fragments of hot lava into the air. The image was taken at The Big Island of Hawaii.
