Energy wells plugged as Hawaii's Kilauea volcano sends lava nearby

Scientists say lava from Kilauea is causing explosions as it enters the ocean, which can look like fireworks.

Relentless lava flow has now reached the Puna Geothermal Venture property, the civil defense agency said. Laze, a word combination of lava and haze, contains hydrochloric acid steam along with volcanic glass particles.

Hawaii County spokeswoman Janet Snyder said the lava stalled behind a berm on the property boundary.

According to Reuters, local authorities reported the first known serious injury linked to the latest round of eruptions on Saturday after a man was hit in the leg by lava splatter while standing on the third-floor balcony of his home.

"The Puna Geothermal Venture had always been contentious on the island, the Associated Press reported, with some native Hawaiians saying that it desecrated Kilauea, where the goddess of fire, Pele, is said to live".

Lava erupts and flows from a Kilauea volcano fissure, near to the Puna Geothermal Venture (PGV) plant (TOP R), on Hawaii's Big Island on May 21, 2018 near Pahoa, Hawaii.

Lava destroyed a building near the plant, bringing the total number of structures overtaken in the past several weeks to almost 50, including dozens of homes.

Clinton was seriously hurt over the weekend by the lava bomb and had nearly his entire leg shattered - from his shin to his foot, according to officials. Earlier this month, officials removed 50,000 gallons (190,000 liters) of the gas from the plant to reduce the chance of explosions.

Kīlauea-which rises 4,190 feet above Hawaii's Big Island, making up around 14 percent of its total area-is one of the world's most active volcanoes. She's already lost two tourism-related jobs due to Kilauea's eruption.

The National Weather Service and U.S. Geological Survey's Hawaii Volcano Observatory have issued warnings about risky ashfall and toxic gasses emitted from vents throughout the area.

Since Kilauea's massive eruption, rivers of fire have swallowed at least 40 structures, hurled lava through cracks in the Earth's surface and devastated livelihoods.

That prompted safety warnings about toxic gas on the Big Island's southern coastline. The yard was littered every few feet with freshly-fallen lava, but Clinton wasn't anxious about getting hit by the hunks of molten rock.

Even with the lava slowly moving near the plant, officials say there is no immediate danger but have issued an advisory to nearby residents that an evacuation may be necessary if gas is detected.

It's just the latest hazard from a weeks-old eruption that has so far generated earthquakes and featured gushing molten rock, giant ash plumes and sulfur dioxide.
