It's amazing what Clark and
Marilyn will do....  "Step back near
the ledge until a HUGE wave crashes
so that I can get a great picture"

Volcano Tour near Kalapana

Sorry I didn't get better pictures. 
Got dark before I realized it! 
The steam is coming from the lava
hitting the ocean a couple hundred
yards away.  Hard to see here, but
you can see the red glow of
"explosions" as the hot lava
hits the cold ocean. (click on the image
below and you can see the glow)
