New Lava Breakouts Cascade Down Hawaii Volcano

Last week, two new lava flows broke out on Kilauea volcano on Hawaii's Big Island, oozing red hot molten rock down the volcano's Pu’u O’o cone.

The breakouts, which began on May 24, have been continuously flowing -- and are quite a sight to behold. Helicopters flying overhead on May 29 captured footage of the lava cascading through the fields of black lava rock.
