Hawaiian volcano spewing more lava than usual

[July 08, 2008]  VOLCANO, Hawaii (AP) -- More lava than usual is spilling from Hawaii's Kilauea volcano into the ocean.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said Saturday that the lava is emerging near the Pacific on the southeastern side of the Big Island.

People can see the lava from a viewing area a few hundred feet away.

Kilauea has been erupting for 25 years.
