Underwater Volcanic Eruption (Hawaii, USA)

This is the Puna coast of the Island of Hawaii (Big Island). It is not an 'eruption', technically it is still sliding in from the cliff then exploding when it hits the water. An underwater eruption would be Loihi, the volcano forming 10,000 feet underwater, several miles off of the Puna coast. It is a beautiful sight.
