Hawaii aflame: Volcanic eruptions to continue as scientists tell of lava mixing from fissures

Driver Brittany Kimball pulls over for a view of Hawaii’s fiery skyline lit up as lava erupts from a fissure near Pahoa.

The Dantean scene was captured on Saturday as the island volcanic activity continues.

Two fissures that opened up in a remote part of the island have merged to produce faster and more fluid lava.

Scientists say the characteristics of lava oozing from fissures in the ground has changed significantly as new magma mixes with decadesold stored lava.

The island has endured weeks of volcanic eruptions, causing worsening conditions for residents.
