VOLCANO, Hawaii — Lava from Kilauea volcano began dropping into the ocean at two new points this week, treating visitors to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to a fiery show.

Crowds have been flocking to the ocean-entry site in the evenings since the lava began dropping into the ocean on Monday, according to a local photographer who chronicles Kilauea's eruption. Smaller groups of people are coming out for the sunrise show.

Getting to one of the new ocean-entry spots involves a hike of about one and a half miles from the park ranger station. The other spot is less accessible — on the far side of the park near the former site of Kalapana, a town that was covered by lava from Kilauea in 1990.

As lava drops off into the ocean, it can create crowd-pleasing explosions and fantastic views of red-hot flow.

Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was established in 1916 and includes the 13,677-foot high Mauna Loa, which is the world's largest volcano.

But the park is best known for Kilauea, which has been erupting continuously since Jan. 3, 1983.
