In this photo provided by Shane Turpin, a "firehose" lava stream from Kilauea Volcano shoots out from a sea cliff on Hawaii's Big Island as seen from a tour boat off the coast. A section of land collapsed above the flow as a tour boat full of spectators and USGS geologists watched on Thursday afternoon, Feb. 2, 2016. The collapse stopped the heavy stream of lava that had been arching out from near the top of the cliffs for weeks. The lava stream, dubbed a "firehose" flow because it shoots lava outward from the source like water from a hose, had recently increased in intensity. (Shane Turpin/Lava Ocean Tours via AP)
