Heading down the steep inclines of Chain of Craters Road, we could just make out the lava flows entering the ocean in the distance. Lava flows have been present since 1983 when the current eruption began. Almost 200 houses were buried (they had plenty of warning- no one expected this eruption to last so long). These are steam plumes as the lava enters the sea. For those so interested, this shows parts of the Campout and PKK flows, and the East Lae'apuki, Kamokuna and East Ka'ili'ili entry points.
