Melting lava extending 1-2 meters of Kilauea volcano on the Hawaiian Islands, the US erupted violently down the Pacific Ocean to create beautiful moments. But the battle between "fire god" and "water spirit" also created extremely scary steam explosions.

Overcoming dangers and challenges than bombs, photographer Jon Cornforth has bravely recorded the clash between "fire god" and "water spirit" in this nature.

Because the geology of the cliff exposed to the unstable and falling sea surface causes the volcanic lava of the volcano to flow directly into the Pacific Ocean.

The direct contact between molten lava with extremely high temperatures and cool sea water makes the water evaporate too quickly, causing steam explosion, also known as Steam Explosion.
