The fiery power of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano captured in series of stunning images

Daily Mail  

These incredible pictures underscore that Hawaii truly is a hotspot tourist destination. Michael Shainblum ventured to Hawaii's Big Island to see the Kilauea volcano spewing lava into the sea. I was already stunned by witnessing this lava waterfall pouring off the cliff, and it's a big waterfall too' At one time, Kilauea 'produced 250,000-650,00 cubic yards of lava per day - enough to resurface a 20-mile-long, two-lane road each day' 'The sights and sounds, it's hard to describe. Shainblum told MailOnline Travel that it was 'incredible' being so close to such fiery power and likened it to 'watching fireworks' with 'explosions happening every few minutes' LEFT: By using a telephoto lens, Shainblum was able to capture the explosions in glorious detail, with tiny shards of rock mixed among plumes of smoke coming into focus. RIGHT: When nightfall descended, Shainblum found the scene became even more spectacular with lava 'glowing amongst the darkness' and lighting up the sky 'like a big lantern' Quizzed on one of his favourite moments during the shoot, Shainblum replied: 'There was this one moment where a double rainbow appeared over the lava and I shot a wide-angle image of it.
