Detailed Description
Looking east across front of growing lava delta (steam and faint incandescence) and black sand beach beyond. Sand forms when lava enters water, quenches to glass, and is broken by surf action. Water currents carry sand and deposit it in relatively protected spots below sea cliff. Note photographers for scale in upper left. Incandescence comes from site of left image. 0614.
