This is a great video — actual lava fighting the water of the ocean at Volcanoes National Park on the Big Island of Hawaii. The steam is awesome….
It’s not something you’ll see every day, but thank the lord for online video sites hehehe!
The Hawaiian Islands are a group of islands that stretches over 1500 miles. It was once known as the Sandwich Islands, in an attempt to honor the Earl of Sandwich, when Captain James Cook discovered the islands in 1778.
Together, there are a total of 132 islands, 8 of those being the “main islands,” while the rest are rather small and mostly uninhabited. Those 8 main Hawaiian Islands are:
• Hawaii (Also known as the Big Island)
• Maui
• Kahoolawe
• Lanai
• Molokai
• Oahu
• Kauai
• Nihau
The Hawaiian Islands were formed millions of years ago. Underwater volcanic and tectonic plate activity saw the rise of new landmasses. Today, on the island of Lanai, volcanic magma flow adds new land everyday when the magma reaches the ocean and is hardened by the cooling of it.
The climate in Hawaii is separated by only 2 seasons. From May and October, summer is present, while the remaining months are known as “winter.” With a subtropical climate and an average temperature no greater that 77 degrees F, Hawaii is a great destination any time of the year for tourists. June through November can see hurricanes, so make sure you plan your vacation carefully.
Hawaii is home to some of the largest endangered animal populations in the world. One third of the United States endangered species are located in Hawaii. The Nene Goose, Humpback Whale, the Pacific Green Sea Turtle and the Pueo are all endangered species heavily protected by Hawaii, with the Nene Goose and Humpback being official state animals.
The population of Hawaii is the more diverse than any other populous in the United States. With a population of over 1.3 million, over 20% of that is Native Hawaiian. A strong influence from Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, and Samoan populations are ever present.
For quite a few people, Hawaii is the hottest surfing spot in the whole wide world. Personally, I’ve never even touched a board or anything — but seeing videos of people hitting the waves, I can see this could be fun. 
I can tell you one thing, though — ain’t no waves like those in Europe.
From the fly-in moment in which we enjoy the beauty of the ocean and the beach from the plane window up to the great footage on the beach of Oahu, Hawaii. My thanks goes out to Youtube-user HAWAIIANCAM for the great upload! Subscribe to his videos now! 
(We’ll be posting a little more Hawaii videos soon, I promise! ;))
