Lava has been flowing into the ocean for several days now, the new
surface flows having wound their way down from the higher elevations.
The lava is streaming into the ocean along the eastern boundary of
Hawaii Volcanoes National park.  The Park Service is keeping visitors
at a distance, the area near the flows into the ocean is very, very
hot.

Nearby, two homes in the Kapa'ahua Homesteads area (makai of the Kalapana
Bypass Highway, about two miles soutwest of Kalapana) are threatened by
lava.

This was the fifth successive Christmas Day that Kilauea has been in
eruption.  The eruption series, which has claimed 57 homes, begins
its sixth year on 3 January 1988.
