Lava meets the ocean, filmed from a boat on August 28, 2016. (The Big Island of Hawaii)

The new Puʻu ʻŌʻō lava flow has been informally named "61g," as it is the 7th flow (g) in the 61st episode of the ongoing Kīlauea East Rift Zone eruption, which began in 1983. It has started in May of 2016 and in July 2016 it reached the ocean.
There's no easy way to see the new (July 26, 2016) lava ocean entry at the Big Island of Hawaii. The lava enters ocean in a remote location. So one has basically three options:
1. Walk (about 9 miles round trip over hot and sometimes dangerous terrain )
2. Take a helicopter tour.
3. Take a lava boat tour.

This video was filmed from a lava boat tour. Riding this boat is an adventure on its own. To get to the boat one needs to climb a 10 feet ladder. It is because the boat is parked atop a truck. After the boat is driven to the ocean, the real adventure begins. Prepare to get wet, prepare to ride high waves, prepare for boat jumps, and you'd better don't get sea sick. Then you'd see the smoke, and smell the sulfur. Don't worry you'd ride right into it. Sometimes you'd see the red lava entering the ocean, and sometimes, nothing, but the white, sulfurous smoke, the hot rocks would be flying a few meters from you, and the boat would dive down and come back up because the meeting between the lava and the ocean is rather a violent occurrence. There's a Hawaiian legend about Pele, the Goddess of fire, and her older sister Na-maka-o-ka-ha, the Goddess of the ocean. Once Pele was driven from her home by her sister Na-maka-o-ka-ha'i for seducing her husband. Ever since the two have been fighting, and one could really see, smell, and feel that fight at the places where Pele and Na-maka-o-ka-ha meet, I mean lava ocean entries.

This is unedited video. Sometimes it is out of focus, and sometimes there's nothing to see but the white smoke, but I wanted to share the atmosphere and the experience of this lava boat ride. Probably later on I'd upload a shorter version of this video
