3 / 4   The active ocean entry is producing a white "laze" plume. Laze is formed when hot lava hits the ocean, forming a plume of hydrochloric acid and steam with fine glass particles. The plume travels with the wind and can be a hazard for people downwind, but is most severe in the immediate vicinity of the ocean entry. /VCG Photo

4 / 4   Kilauea erupted at least twice over the weekend, at one point launching a cloud of ash up to 10,000 feet high. Since the massive eruption May 3, about 2,250 earthquakes have struck on or around Hawaii's Big Island, whose residents now have another danger to worry about. /VCG Photo
