Lava from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has created nearly a mile of new land.
US Geological Survey officials said the flow, which has filled Kapoho Bay, is still active and there is no way of knowing when the eruption will end or if more lava-spewing vents will open.
The fast-moving lava poured into low-lying coastal Hawaii neighbourhoods in the space of just two days this week, destroying hundreds of homes.
The eruptions began early last month and is believed to be the volcano's most destructive episode in modern history.

Cheap, but insurance may be pricey.

Dibs!
“...scientists reveal they have NO IDEA when eruptions will end...”
Is that the same crowd selling us global warming?
Damn...my money is on a new trans pacific freeway to California before their train to nowhere is finished.
I guess the earth doesn’t like the ocean rise:-)
Dutchsinse.com felt the volcanologist at Hawaii are honest. He has had a running battle with upper management at USGS.
Yeah, in about 4,000 to 40,000 years, it will be worth something!
No, the current property owners simply have more land between their original homestead and the waterfront.
Is it radioactive? Or, just warm?
Zactly!
Quick, lets put up some condos!
Note the best, detailed articles are from UK, not US. Sad we have no journalism lately.
I work in Manhattan, which is actually a tiny island about 13 miles long and maybe 2 miles wide on average. But a lot happens here that I am never aware of until I see it on the news or hear from my family.
When that cyclist attack happened a few months ago (when that Islamic terrorist drove a truck down a bike path killing 8 and injuring 11), I was only made aware when my wife called to see if I was okay. I was 20 blocks away and had no clue anything even happened. Everybody was just walking around outside just like a normal day.
“A mile of new land”. Is that a square mile or a mile long and fifty feet wide?
I know tourism is only industry on island for many people and they are desperate for people to come, but read the USGS and state warnings! Tourism says come (but omits the limits on what you can do), health and safety says no, be prepared to evacuate, to have bad air, to have closed airports, etc. A mess.
There’s a mess because the state let people build/live/farm in a hazard zone. Many don’t have insurance. Looks like the state didn’t have a contingency plan already in place to relocate permanently displaced people who couldn’t/wouldn’t see to their own arrangements. The only good news is that most of the homes lost around Kapoho Bay, about 80%, were vacation rentals and not primary residences.
If page went there once it can go again. Is it really smart to build homes on volcanoes.
