This particular stream of lava hasn't reached the sea yet, but as of Thursday it was only 0.8 miles from the ocean. Though in the past people have flocked to see what happens when the lava meets the sea many viewing areas are currently closed. There is a lava viewing area off Highway 130 open for part of the day. If you can't make it out, or want a closer view, satisfy your curiosity with some of these lovely pictures (and awesome video) taken from the recent lava flow outbreak.
