As the lava enters the ocean, huge clouds of hydrogen sulfide gas are created. The water causes the lava to explode, forming the fine black sand of our beautiful beaches.
Above Pu'u O'o vent with it's bubbling pool of lava. The black crust within the vent walls covers an underground lake of magma 600' deep. Lava is called magma when it is below the surface.
Pu'u O'o vent during a cycle of increased activity. Everyday is different, even the pilots don't know what to expect.

Pu'u O'o is on the backbone of Kilauea volcano, home of Madame Pele, goddess of fire.

needing to know

I came to Minneapolis from southern California this May to help my 88-year-old mother care for my 86-year-old father. He fell last November, and then declined cognitively for a month as his bones healed at a rehab facility under quarantine. He hasn't undeclined. Before retiring in the 1990s, he was a theater critic, & still seems to have some of his self-confidence and wit alongside vascular dementia, Parkinsonisms, incontinence and real trouble walking. Given his otherwise-ok health, he might still have some tolerable years ahead, though with new parameters. My mom's a novelist. She seems made of iron.
