Follow a Lava River’s Mesmerizing Path of Destruction | Short Film Showcase

Located in Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, Kīlauea is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Since 1983, the young volcano has added more than 500 acres of new land to Hawai’i’s “Big Island.” As Kīlauea continues to erupt, wide swaths of the surrounding rain forests are destroyed by oozing molten rock. These black rivers are constantly flowing—making way for new life and regenerating the forest life cycle. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/NatGeoSubscribe ➡ Get More Short Film Showcase: http://bit.ly/ShortFilmShowcase About Short Film Showcase: The Short Film Showcase spotlights exceptional short videos created by filmmakers from around the web and selected by National Geographic editors.
