"Keep your distance" might be the mantra for 2020, but here at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the 50th state"s "Big Island," it"s always been good advice. Especially so for the passengers on this tour boat as they witness a red-hot lava flow hitting the chilly ocean with a tremendous explosion of steam.
