12 10 11 Lava Flow Hawaii Kilauea Volcano Lava Flow GoPro Hero 2

To use this video in a commercial player, advertising, or in broadcasts, please email [e-mail]
This Hawaii lava flow video was shot back in Dec. 2011. I only had my GoPro for one month.
The ocean entry had started the evening before. I arrived a few hours later and stayed through sunrise. Unfortunately while filming the camera shifted several times without me knowing so, it could have been better. That's when I was shooting into the blinding sun.
"To use this video in a commercial player, advertising, or in broadcasts, please email Viral Spiral: [e-mail]"
Not looking to be critiqued. It was extremely windy that morning. 30 mph steady.
The flow was still shallow and extremely hot so, only a few minutes of standing on it was possible. Yes, my shoes melted. It was the last hike for them.

This is terrifying and beautiful at the same time...you gotta have balls to do this

[@jonathanoxlade4252]

And keep a eye on what looks like moving solidified rock you could die if your foot melts into one lol

[@khalidmahmood1105]

Deffo bro nuff respekt 💯💪

[@coffeepot3123]

I just love to watch lava dropping into oceans and create new landmass. Oceans may take our land but lava shall rebuild.

[@braddieaus]

I could sit here and watch the lava flow for hours.... it's very mesmerising. :)

[@mckenziestribich6784]

These are my favorite videos on youtube. They're so soothing. Thank you.

[@lavapix]

McKenzie Stribich Glad you like them. Thanks for watching....

[@lavapix]

***** Thanks.....

[@elfpiesomeanotherword]

I'm finding this to be my new hobbie

[@stupidtookmynick]

this is so fascinating! It's a good thing we don't have volcanoes where I live, I'd be way too tempted to touch the lava or poke it with a stick or something. I mean I know it's dangerous but look at it, it really needs a poke! Thanks for these very mesmerizing lava videos ^_^

[@lavapix]

Thanks for watching and glad you like them.

[@prvisin5365]

lavapix lol I'm scared of volcanoes I can't look at one xd

[@RobertBardos]

I live in Minnesota where we never get to see lava. Some of this was quite mesmerizing to watch. Thank u very much for shooting this and sharing. Also thanks for sacrificing you sneakers so it could be filmed also.

[@lavapix]

Thanks Robert. I did sacrifice hiking shoes to get this :-) Wind blew a few things into the flow too.

[@RobertBardos]

I saw that. The funny part was I was actually eating ravioli the first time I saw that haha. The monster was pretty epic also. Very Honorable sacrifice to the volcano gods. :)

[@billybobjohn8955]

There are many recordings of lava flows in KZbin. Honestly said, your recordings are the best in this domain, it's beyond just filming molten rock, it's artistic with a big deal of poetry behind it. Keep up the good work Bryan, camera manufacturers should be sponsoring you in using their products to film these natural events. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

[@lavapix]

Thanks Billy Bob John. I do my best. More to come from last years hikes.

[@screamingmimi90]

Your patience is astounding. Thank you for this.❤️

[@innerguardianXIII]

Amazingly therapeutic. It makes the world look like a big, powerful, living, breathing creature and Lava is the Earth's blood.

[@ripscuds4467]

I love watching the slow formation of new land mass. And it really doesn't take that long for vegetation to take hold or for erosion to make black sandy beaches. And it puts me to sleep within minutes its so mesmerizing.

[@lavapix]

It is very relaxing even while standing there with my shoes melting apart. Thanks for watching...

[@upsmanckp]

I had a very dear friend doing a shoot on Kilauea for the Discovery channel when HD had just begun. He told me he learned a valuable lesson. Never walk on hot lava with shoes (which Bobby very rarely wore) that were glued together. He lifted up his size 15 and the sole decided to stay put. Love the shots man. Bob would have too.

[@lavapix]

These days most shoes are molded so, they get all soft like a marsh mellow and deform. I always carry shoegoo with me and the silver duct tape. Had plenty of shoes soles start to slide off. My shoes are disposable. When I know a pair will be ruined, I carry an extra pair. Worked with Discovery Channel production crews over the years. Thanks on my videos and thanks for watching/commenting.

[@WasFakestCenturyAesthetics]

Thanks in advance for giving your life so I can watch trippy lava videos.

[@user-ux1yj2ku7y]

ياربي علي روعة المنظر بركان منصهر اعلي جبل وتحت منه محيط سبحانك يارب ما اعظم قوتك وابرع جمالك

[@Miller_a_Barata]

every cut of the video I see makes me want to go visit Hawaii even more

[@atulthakurinbox]

This clip is awesome. Hats off to the guy who filmed it. Please be safe while shooting these dangerous thing. Its so fascinating to see.. God knows whats going inside earth and where & when its going to erupt.

[@1andlord]

This is... AN EPIC VIEW! Congratulations on living, bro!

[@lavapix]

+London Edmonds Thanks, and thanks for watching....

[@1andlord]

No problem bro

[@francisbakininthekitchen2441]

this is so awesome and satisfying. I hope that in the future we have some miraculous technology that would allow people to touch lava and not get hurt, that would be so cool

[@mcrekkr]

You got some real balls doing that 10/10

[@Sotrass]

Wow, I am amazed! I've always wanted to see a lava flow into the water! Thank you sooo much for filming and sharing with the world!! Thumbs up and sub from Norway

[@lavapix]

Thanks for subscribing......

[@Jay_Flippen]

Sporadic drip castle construction methods there I see. Always taking the interesting path of least resistance.... Pele (Hawaiian Volcano God) must be proud of his work today.

[@larathlas]

Lovely, its really relaxing when you put it on fullscreen and just watch... First time you stuck camera over the edge allmost made me jump out of my chair :) Thank you for this.

[@bigblackcrocs49]

3:23 amazing shot too

[@Katitorsi]

Vertigo kicked in hard when you stuck the camera over the cliff.

[@apismellifera1000]

Wonderful I love the new lava stream that starts to drip over the sea cliff

[@NeokingTech]

Dude, amazing clips! I fear for your life!

[@lavapix]

Thanks....Not to worry, I know what I'm doing (Famous last words). It may not look like it but, safety is my main concern when out there. Only the camera was in danger. I was having a nice relaxing morning.

[@NeokingTech]

lavapix That's awesome, glad to hear that! Keep doing what you're doing, you've earned a sub :)

[@qmobile2555]

lavapix เป็นคนไทยนะอ่านออกเปล่า

[@DallasValor]

FAAANNNNN FRECKIN TASTIC!! I love watching you put things in the lava, giggity, but something about just watching it do its thing is amazing. Luv IT!! THanks for all the great angles and shots!

[@lavapix]

Thanks......Almost forgot I ever shot that video. More to come.

[@JesseStiller]

Imagine using a thermal camera to see how much the water heats up, and how hot the freshly solidified lava is :D

[@lavapix]

My feet and hands work well for the solidified lava. Water is only real hot right at the flow. It quickly cools the further away you are.

[@SuperRider-RS]

Lava looks juicy! but so dangerous!

[@FabioDish]

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL

[@siomaramendoza4594]

Wow!! I never seen something like that!! Thank you

[@JustinElkinsII]

Just amazing. You're amazing! Thank you.

[@lavapix]

Thanks Justin....

[@deiegeo1]

justin bieber :)

[@zachwilliams7994]

Great shots! I appreciate what you have done. Thank you :)

[@cylyoneia]

I'd make a terrible volcanologist. "Hey what's Nate doing?" "What do you think playing with lava again."

[@Comfortably0]

lol! 8:00 earth having a bad stomach day....extraordinary work btw, pls do let us know more of these middle earth stuff and do keep it safe. Cheers!

[@SoYGeOrGiOoficial]

Wonderful

[@danimr2187]

[@omid427]

The cliffs looks like faces. And very Deep art! I Think there are souls going through this lava. Could you please Get more videos of cliffs like this, from different angles. That looks like faces. I wonder how it will look in the future when the Island is set..

[@lavapix]

Very observant. I've always thought many of the cooled flows draping over cliffs looked like tortured souls. Not saying they are, just they look like art. There once was a very large chunk of cooled lava that looked just like Bart Simpson. It was about the size of a car. It served as a marker for several weeks until getting covered by later flows.

[@omid427]

lavapix I've Always seen faces in mountains, in all places! Im not a New age hippie, but i and many of my friends see it. These are more noticeable and powerful. The big Island is giving a glimpse of the duture mountains. The expressions are of are very powerful! I Truly Believe theres are forces shaping these, and it isnt forming by Chance. I believe hawaii is where the core where earth is giving birth. Its the ultimate lands on Earth, there is so much facts to see it. Big Island Mauna Loa being the largest mountain and volcano in the world just to set it. And the echosystem, Visual powerfulness, great mountains, plants and animals shows me that its the Most precious Islands on earth. ist my absolute dream to live there. Just so hard to get the resident visa for a swedish.

[@manohd1987]

1 Word: AMAZING! Thanks for uploading this stuff!!

[@foxfire1112]

I love youtube, this is something i would never be able to experience otherwise

[@eddystronger]

One Word: "AMAZING"!

[@Hiedalle]

incredible footage thank you for uploading

[@lavapix]

Your welcome and thanks for watching.

[@bigblackcrocs49]

Your channel is so fascinating! Must be hard...

[@lavapix]

Thanks....It can be....That's why it takes months sometimes before new ones can be shot.

[@FelkniaMusic]

This is beautiful !

[@intoweapons]

amazing footage! love these vids, keep up the great work :)

[@Shroomtoons]

as much as I know Lava can burn me, videos like this make me want to stick my hands Into it...

[@josephastier7421]

You have more faith in that cliff edge than I might have.

[@sabri0135]

That´s amazing ! Thank you for tour vidéo !

[@shaikhsaddam3763]

such a daring work, appreciated!!

[@alexanderrsdrf4663]

omg !!!! this is very beautiful

[@facundosegovia3549]

awesome takes!! u r all genious!!

[@keithsk8s]

So amazing and scary at the same time...

[@AdrianErotico69]

an awesome clip, dude are you a professional?..cause I watch it so dangerous

[@lavapix]

Yes, a pro with 23+ years experience. Not an adventure for the faint of heart.

[@AdrianErotico69]

I see bro.. nice job.

[@BasicMonster]

lavapix Have you ever had any accidents?

[@lavapix]

BasicMonster The most common thing is tripping and falling. Outings are an avg of 15 hours not including the 5 hrs RT driving. 15-20 miles hiking. So, you do get tired, making the return hike an adventure in its own. Horrible terrain mostly. No broken bones that I know of but, some real nice deep cuts a few times. Like a shoe full of blood once after the 9 mile hike back to the car. Shin looked like I got clawed by a Tiger. Hardened lava is razor sharp like shards of glass. No biggie as I'm walking scar tissue from decades of surfing and mnt biking too. Not an adrenalin junkie but, I do like to challenge myself.

[@BasicMonster]

lavapix Oh my, good luck on the future tho ! Cheers.

[@emileerose3263]

If someone slipped and their hand fell in lava, would it burn off?

[@TheSwirlingVortex]

I've decided that I should never go to a lava flow in person because I'd probably stay there for days and die of dehydration. It's more relaxing than listening to the rain or watching the ocean.

[@lavapix]

Many times its difficult to leave. I have stayed for days. Its very relaxing.......

[@TheSsdip]

incredible clip! i wonder what happen to the lava when it reach the water

[@lavapix]

Most of it turns to rock and rolls into the depths of the ocean. A lesser amount starts sticking together and starts forming new land. Unless its a substantial flow the new land gets undercut by waves and breaks apart. Often turns to sand and starts new small black sand beaches nearby. Thanks for watching...

[@kansasthunderman1]

lavapix The lava can also form a "bench" or cliff which can collapse into the ocean with little warning. It's a good idea to be careful when walking on such a lava formation because the ground can suddenly go out from under your feet.

[@lavapix]

kansasthunderman1 Thanks....Well aware of benches etc....In short that's what I was talking about without getting into too much detail. As for new land, never ever go on it. There's no such thing as being careful when your leaving everything to luck. Its amazing the number of people I see on new land and when I tell them of the dangers they say "I'm being careful". There's no such thing on new land. In this video I'm on a solid old sea cliff that's covered by a thin fresh flow. That old cliff wasn't going anywhere. Been doing this for 23 years and have hiked the entire area 100's of times. My motto has always been "Live to shoot another day". Its on all my image bios. Thanks for commenting.....

[@Tof667]

Impressionnant !! Vous avez un sacré courage ! Merci pour ces images a couper le souffle ! Pour info température de la lave : couleur orange-rouge 1150-1300°c. Jaune - blanc 1300 a 1450 °c. Et juste noir a solide 1000° . Ça devait chauffer sec ! 😆

[@lovelee555]

It kinda looks like sliver when cold Nice vid by the way

[@segura2112]

Very cool, some day I'm going to see this for myself.

[@mitchkirkaldy6528]

Amazing footage. very impressive thanks!!

[@DylanZombie]

@lavapix I have a question is the Ropy try lava @3:44 and @1:10 coming from a surface flow or a flow coming from underground via lava tube from the volcano

[@lavapix]

That was a shallow tube from a pahoehoe lava flow crusting over. The flows do this over and over as it crosses the flat land heading to the seacliff.

[@wambacwm]

beautiful footage. I really enjoyed watching that thanks for sharing. You got so damn close to it!

[@khalidmahmood1105]

Braving the elements 1nce again just to captivate us beautiful audience of mother nature @ her fiercest. An aw inspiring captivating 💯💪 quality vid. Respekt bro. Stay safe and blessed out there. Just zoom in n outta shots at a safe distance bro. Safety 1st to prioratise. 👍

[@GiulioImparato]

ever happened to be suddenly stuck between two flows of lava ?

[@lavapix]

+Giulio Imparato Not by accident. I'm always aware of everything going on around me for 1 mile or more. In desolate areas if needed I scout out a 1 mile radius before settling in so there's no surprises. That's necessary near eruption sources. I'm between flows often. I just walk over them. Ever so carefully and quickly. Thanks for watching...

[@skullcharger887]

+lavapix you sir/madam have balls of steel

[@lavapix]

+skullcharger887 Ha Ha, must have or they would have melted while filming parts of this video. Thanks for watching...

[@DylanZombie]

@lavapix @3:43 do you think the transition from orange to red and to black Ropy try lava is pretty cool?

[@lavapix]

Yep. It tells you the lava it cooling on the surface.

[@rosenathan4192]

This is beautiful! 👍 🙏🏼💗

[@thisistheendpt2]

We all know that magma spews out from the earth's core as lava then form into solid rock on the earth's surface but where does all this material melt down from and how does it get into the earth's core to begin with?

[@Rexune]

Woah dude thats epic never even seen lava irl or internet love your vids

[@lavapix]

Thanks and thanks for watching...

[@tornadolover920]

Mauna Loa is set to erupt soon! Make sure you hike out and get footage :D

[@lavapix]

Mauna Loa isn't showing any signs of erupting for now. When it does, there will be little chance of getting anywhere near the flows as most will be trying to get away. Mauna Loa flows move very fast and are huge. Its also a very large volcano with most areas inaccessible. Thanks for watching...

[@kaminobatto]

Watching this is so mesmerising and satisfying :)

[@cptnkaos5994]

Great video, your very brave, for doing that, RIP gopro

[@SunDance00]

How the fuck do you know where to stand?? I mean what if you fall through !?

[@lavapix]

23 years experience. Not a crazy one time stunt :-) The most important thing is knowing what not to do.

[@SunDance00]

lavapix Dude, It´s AMAZING. Thanks for sharing this.

[@James7995]

Am I sick for wanting to mix in a sick dub step soundtrack to the slow flow?

[@itaygi]

the video shot at 3:24 is amazing

[@lavapix]

Thanks...Tricky to capture too due to the heat.

[@Xingmey]

lavapix how close were you while filming that shot? i bet you had a selfiestick or something like that. but... must be pretty darn close.

[@lavapix]

Xingmey My feet are right there just out of the frame. Yes, had a home made 3 foot stick. So, I'm right there.

[@Xingmey]

lavapix oh cool - thx for letting me know :)

[@yolo9050]

That litte bit of the camera melting, it melted just from sitting around filming this? How did the heat effect you?

[@lavapix]

Amber Fraser Its pretty hot. I have to drink lots of fluids and got a few flash burns. (like an instant bad sunburn) Could only be in certain spots a few seconds. When the camera shakes at times, its me wincing from the heat and the wind. The camera housing melted while filming several clips. The camera its self shut down due to the heat. Thanks for watching.

[@sandysandy967]

Hi, you have not video the eruption mouth. I think hawaii is a volcanic island . so where is the mouth of its eruption so that the volcano flow to the sea??

[@Technatura83]

6:11 - 9:00 Mega lava poop! :D

[@jimask1709]

Nash Rarig How i feel after the wifes cooken

[@edgars112233]

Jim Ask shitty wife u have

[@MTFScalpel]

7:30 lava shit :P

[@INFAMOUSRISING]

too much chipotle?

[@hearfan]

This is some awesome footage. Are you ever in danger or does it look more dangerous that it actually is???

[@lavapix]

Thanks....Its dangerous for the inexperienced. I've been doing this for so long its just another day to me. I'm always aware of any dangers instinctively vs needing to worry about it.

[@lewasil]

Incredible!

[@29Aios]

И океан победил :) У воды такая теплоемкость, чтобы её довести до кипения, то надо туже энергию затратить что и нагреть до 97 градусов. 3 градуса всего !

[@minecraftchickable]

thanks alot u got me a A on my project and i dont get held back really thanks

[@lavapix]

Glad to hear the video helped you out.

[@juliamariamartinezrodrigue2138]

speechless... amazing experience I want to be there!!!

[@madmaxex1]

the lava look like gummy candy

[@XxIzzybeezxX]

So satisfying ahhh 😌

[@ZooxFox]

is the lava going on forever ??

[@ecepehlivan1710]

this is such a great thing :D

[@AlexSGabor]

Nice drone usage

[@Cobrass67]

absolutely mesmerising, I just wanna poke it with a stick. if I ever get out to somewhere like this im gonna time it right so I can just watch this the whole time

[@ismaelruizmegacender2400]

his is trippy viscous lava seems DQA temptation to touch (and that's how the guy with the hook hand dae was created XDD

[@francesmartinez4936]

This is intence & yure on the edge the rock can potentially break

[@MegaMesozoic]

Splendid - very H. R. Giger!

[@DylanZombie]

@lavapix @2:58 do you think that bit of cooled Ropy try lava looks like a kraken or the back of the head of the volcano goddess Pele with her long cooled lava hair

[@lavapix]

Or Predator.

[@DylanZombie]

@@lavapix is there lava flowing under it?

[@tuexss]

Perfectly nice footage which is ruined because that guy couldn't stop moving the camera!

[@slaughtz]

Dude, you need one of those mini camera drones. You could take baller pictures with one.

[@lavapix]

Way too windy that day and most in general. Let go of it and never see it again.

[@5mnz7fg]

How cool is that!! (apart from the fact it's very hot, of course ^^)

[@pigylick]

can you try to cook something on the lava

[@DylanZombie]

@lavapix @3:52 I love to transition from orange to red and into black ropy try lava

[@ANTONIOZILLA]

If I were on that cliff I'd worry if another flow would come behind me and I couldn't go around it.. either boiling hot water or 2000 degree rock

[@peterhauck9402]

Superclip, great film. Was it hot near the shoes?

[@lavapix]

+Peter Hauck Thanks...The clips standing over the flow dropping over the cliff, I could only stand for seconds at a time. Shoes start to melt. If you wait until the feet get too hot, most likely the shoes will start falling apart. When it feels like standing on marsh mellows, its time to retreat to cool ground. Usually by then any exposed skin is also getting too hot. Lots of variables. Thanks for watching...

[@bl1289]

+lavapix no the for making it!

[@misakimei9533]

Why doesn't the lava stop?

[@BenIsKickButt]

did you mine the obsidian?
