The ongoing eruption at Kilauea, beyond scorching the earth and destroying property, has shown the volcano to be a meteorological magician. An amazing variety of volcanic weather is being created on Hawaii’s Big Island.

The sky show is due to Kilauea’s lava, which is about as hot as lava is going to get. Its supply of heat to the surface and its idiosyncratic geochemistry are generating an abundance of beautiful and freakish wonders, from lava-launching whirlwinds to plumes of potentially lethal acidic haze.
