Photo and Video Chronology - Kīlauea - November 8, 2004

Glow from lava as it enters ocean at front of new delta formed by PKK flow.

Same view from different location, showing multiple entry points. Sea cliff is near right edge of image.

Another colorful view of the new lava delta.

Finally, at dawn, it is light enough to see what the source of all the glow looks like. Everything in photo, except for the sea cliff near right side of image, is part of the new lava delta, still unnamed, which began forming on the night of November 5-6.

Though a long hike from the end of Chain of Craters Road, the entry area is a Mecca for photographers. Photo from same location as the previous three, all of which look westward.

New lava flows coating surface of old Lae`apuki delta, looking east. Tiny glob of lava on old sea cliff is all that remains of cascades, but lava is flowing through one or more tubes down the cliff, across the old delta, to the new delta.
