Littoral Explosions at Puhi-o-Kalaikini Ocean Entry

A short period of successive littoral explosions at the Puhi-o-Kalaikini ocean entry, where lava exiting the tube enters the water. The explosions were throwing ejecta up to about 20 meters. The video was taken with a high zoom factor from the top of the sea cliff, well away from the entry point and not on the lava delta.

During the course of our research on walruses hauled out near Point Lay in

early September, USGS obtained aerial video footage of the

walrus aggregation.  This footage was taken from an altitude of 4,000' with
