Over the last two days, sometimes producing fountains as high as 25 meters, but usually just smaller spatter vents as seen in this new HVO video:

I don't recall seeing anything but the rough, jagged style lava when I visited the lava beds in the Nass many years ago but on the Big Isle, you can see multiple types of lava with a short walk out into the older sites...from glassy, colored waves to fine strands. It's the wide variety of lava, the many ways it manages to erupt,ooze and build new land that makes this island so fascinating. Dangerous but fascinating-it's not a place anyone with serious respiratory problems should consider visiting.
