Kilauea, on Hawaii's Big Island, is the world's most active volcano. Its latest eruption began in 1983 and hasn't stopped since. Since that time it has created 544 acres of new land and has consumed 200 homes. NATURE was there with its cameras to record some of the largest explosions experts have seen in 25 years or more. But as we watch nature's own fireworks display and witness the devastation wrought by flowing lava, we are also able to observe a creative process that's central to life on these islands. The most spectacular moment of creation is when lava pours into the ocean creating new land and it is here that filmmaker Paul Atkins finds himself getting a shot few have ever filmed - the cataclysmic meeting of 2000 degree lava and 75 degree ocean water - a sight to behold.
