HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK, BIG ISLAND (HawaiiNewsNow)- Thousands of people are drawn to the creation of new land on the Big Island of Hawaii, courtesy of Kilauea Volcano. However, the U.S. Geological Survey is very concerned about some of those people getting too close to the action.

A photo taken by a scientist from the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory in mid-March shows a person standing on an active lava delta, where molten rock is entering the ocean. Meantime, a video showed some daredevil kayakers paddling within feet of the hot lava.

Scientists saw the footage on Hawaii News Now last month. "Since then, some of the scientists out in the field, mapping the lava flows and monitoring the hazards, have seen people standing right on lava deltas," said Janet Babb, an HVO geologist. "And it's extremely dangerous because the delta can collapse without any warning at all."
