Cascade and lava falls, 8 meters high, over sea cliff at west end of Kohola ocean entry. Soon after this image was taken, a gush destroyed upper part of cascade, but the wound was quickly healed and the cascade-falls continued to play for more than 1.5 hr thereafter.

Lobe of lava moving along west edge of flow reached top of sea cliff and began plunging to beach below. This image was taken several minutes after the falls began. Liquid lava is 2-4 meters wide.
