Lava shelf in danger of collapse so it's off limits at present:

When it does fall in, does that make a rogue wave? (Maybe a stupid?) Belle.

I mean, that would affect other islands?Belle

I don't think there's any danger of that OldSouthernBelle. The concern is about hikers actually near the flow either falling in when the bench collapses or being scalded by the heated water that washes back over the remaining land.

Meanwhile, things seem to be "heating up" near Iwo Jima. Mother Nature is restless.

HKP, what's happening near Iwo Jima?I looked on the USGS site and didn't find anything.
