This photo, taken by nature photographer Look Amazing



This photo, taken by nature photographer Look Amazing, is of lava hitting the surf off of the main island of Hawaii. The water was filled with volcanic glass and lava bombs; the water vapor is the result of the lava superheating the seawater and evaporating it. Lava cools rapidly when it hits seawater, causing minerals to form and crystallize quickly.
