If that's lava from the actual volcano I'd be getting my ass out of that boat in a hurry.

The acid in the water literally dissolved Pierce Brosnan's boat in Dante's Peak.

My oldest is serving in the military on Oahu. First the missile false alarm, and, while they are not in the direct line of fire, now this.
 
Those guys are almost as cool as the journalist during Mt St. Helens. He was trying to get all the neat pics right up until half the mountain blew off with him on it.
 
I stood in that Volcano LAST year on a trip to Hawaii. Normally this kind of thing wouldn't move the needle for me, but since we visited Kona last year, I can't look away.

He is memorialized at a lookout point called Johnston's Ridge which when I was there in 1999 (and still may be today) is as close as the public is allowed to get. Johnston was only seven miles away when the pyroclastic blast came not off the top of the mountain, but out the side right at him. Windows were cracked as far away as Seattle. Johnston didn't stand a chance.

The whole thing even nineteen years after the eruption was awe inspiring. Rivers changed course or ceased to exist because of mud and lava flows, forests were flattened, some houses were never seen again. But every now then you'd see signs of new growth with vegetation and in turn the animals starting to come back.

I was a kid when that happened and had always been interested in volcanos and earthquakes - still am. I'd love to go out there and see what it's like today
