Lava flow ocean entry at Kilauea volcano Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Two part video.
The Kamokuna ocean entry.
These video clips are from my Nikon D800 shot at 1080p 30 fps.
They’re two different outings combined together. Towards the end you’ll start seeing spots from my dirty sensor. That’s what the plume and salt spray can do at times. Starting with my Sept videos I have a spotless sensor.
I’m finally catching up on editing and posting video and photos captured during the past month or two.
As each new video is posted you’ll be able to see the progression of the new land being added to The Big Island of Hawaii.
Its quite fascinating.
Part 1 This is the stormy night and day. Was only able to shoot limited activity due to the heavy rain and salt spray. Notice the large chunk of lava rock being pushed around on the beach by the waves. At the end you see the large area of new land that has formed. Some of this has since collapsed.
Part 2 Starts off showing the new land at night with numerous cascades of lava pouring over the sea cliff Then it shifts to the other side of the new land looking back where I started. The steam plume often blocks the view of the glowing new land. I’m standing right next to a small stream of lava pouring over the sea cliff.
The video progresses to closeups of the ocean entry. Some minor shaking occurs due to the ground its self shaking. The occasional blur is from the extreme heat waves down there.
The spots on the sensor were a bummer but, sometimes no matter what precautions you take they get messed up.
If anyone’s interested in what product I used to clean it, it was UES Full frame digital sensor swabs and cleaner. Absolute best I’ve ever used. Not sponsored by them. Bought it just like anyone else would.
As usual it was very windy.
At times the sound of the waves crashing don’t match what you’re seeing due to how far away I am from the ocean entry and how loud the waves crashing below my locations are.
The sea cliff averages about 45′ in height.
These new beaches are extremely dangerous. Stay away.
Thanks for subscribing and watching. Many more videos to come.
Be patient. What I do isn’t always easy.
My usual warning.
Do not attempt to do what I do.
I have 25 years of experience and I know what I’m doing out there.
So many things can go wrong for those who don’t understand or can’t recognize the dangers of a volcanic eruption.
Stay away and watch my videos instead.
Having said my usual warning, let me add that this flow is accessible via hikes of at least 8-9 miles round trip.
Expect large crowds of people. Be sure to carry at least 3 liters of water per person.
Always use extreme caution at the sea cliffs and never walk out onto new land as it could easily collapse into the ocean taking you with it.
As the bench grows the immediate sea cliff will be vulnerable to collapse also.
I highly recommend you watching this HVNP safety video on safety at ocean entries.
Also, its best not to breath if you find yourself engulfed in the steam plume. If you think you will be in it often, be sure to wear a respirator.
