Hokusai meets Lava!


Found this site  for an article entitled "Lava Meets Water In Extreme Pictures From Hawaii (PHOTOS)" that's highlighted with a slide show of 4 fantastic pictures as they say of lava meets ocean waters.  The pictures were taken by
"Two daredevil photographers have risked their lives to become the first people to capture the explosive moment fiery lava crashes into the sea - while in the water themselves."
I am not allowed to copy these pictures.  So please go there and enjoy them yourself.  I am particularly like their No. 4 picture, which was shown to be the one ranked number one, which I think it may be more descriptively to call it "Hokusai meets Lava"! My salute hat tips overwhelmingly to the two photographers, they are called the Fearless Duo, Nick Selway and CJ Kale, as they were
"standing just feet away from scalding heat and floating lava bombs. Using a simple protective casing around their cameras, and donning just swimming shorts and flippers, they bob up and down with the water as the surf washes over their heads."
In the article there's also this:
". . . as Kale told the Daily Mail, the water is boiling only 20 feet away. Get hit by one rogue wave, and you're dead." 
Wow!


P.S.

That article and pictures were actually derived from this U.K. Daily Mail September 5, 2012 article where a lot more pictures included there.
