Lava flows over a newly formed black sand beach, during twilight. |

New land is created along the coast of the Big Island. |

As the twilight fades, the glow from the lava as it enters the ocean becomes magnificent. |

A toe of molten lava slowly approaches. |

Large clouds of steam are produced as the lava enters the ocean. |
