Detailed Description

Very similar to left image above, but with greater magnification. As water comes in, lowest entries become totally submerged, and a dark crust forms on the lava owing to quenching against the water. As water recedes, dark crust ruptures and lava spills out...over and over and over, with each wave cycle. 0544.
