Lava cascaded off of cliffs on Hawaii's Big Island on Wednesday, marking the first time since 2013 that one of Kilauea's lava flows reached the ocean. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
Lava from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, one of the most active in the world, reaches the ocean for the first time since 2013.
The lava flow produced by the Cumbre Vieja volcano falls into the Atlantic Ocean in Tazacorte on the Canary island of La Palma. While the feared explosion and clouds of toxic gases released as the molten rock hit the ocean have not materialised, experts warn a forecast change in wind may bring new hazards. IMAGES
Experts from the Spanish Military Emergency Unit (UME) measure the toxicity of the gases emitted when lava meets the sea. The river of glowing lava from the Cumbre Vieja volcano that erupted ten days ago on the island of La Palma in the Spanish Canary Islands is still flowing into the Atlantic Ocean at midday, but the wind is pushing the toxic gases out to sea, avoiding, at least for the time being, the local population.

Santa Cruz de La Palma, Sep 28 (EFE).- The lava of the volcano on the Spanish island of La Palma advanced Tuesday in a more fluid way and has already reached the ocean after passing through an area of banana trees.
