Active lava delta on south coast of Kīlauea, Hawai‘i
This lava delta at Lae‘apuki added about 24 hectares (60 acres) of new land to the southeast coast of Kīlauea in 2006, but 6.5 hectares (16 acres) slid into the sea in 2007. White plume marks location of lava entering the sea through a tube whose location is shown by blueish fume in middle right.
