From Times Wire Reports

Lava from Kilauea volcano has begun dropping into the ocean at two new points, treating visitors at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to a fiery show.

Getting to one of the new ocean-entry spots involves a hike of about 1 1/2 miles from the park ranger station across the old lava flow. The other spot is less accessible -- on the far side of the park near the former site of Kalapana, a town that was covered by lava from Kilauea in 1990.
