Searing-Hot Lava Crashing Into The Seas Off Hawaii

image credit

Two photographers risked their lives to become the first people to capture the explosive moment fiery lava crashes into the sea. Nick Selway and CJ Kale braved baking hot 110F waters to capture these images, as they floated just feet from scalding heat and floating lava bombs.

The pair, who chase the lava as it flows from Kilauea through Kalapana, Hawaii, spend their days camped on the edge of active volcanoes to capture the incredible images.

There have been images of lava entering the sea before. I've seen some images taken in Iceland. No to take anything away from these guys. Their images are certainly more detailed than stuff I've seen before, but they are not the first.
