Lava from Hawaii volcano creates new land, buries 400 homes
A region called Vacationland on Hawaii's Big Island had disappeared as lava poured into an ocean bay, turning it into new land. The molten rock entirely covered Vacationland and only a few buildings remained in the ocean subdivision, the US Geological Survey said. The total number of homes destroyed in the Kilauea volcano eruption has reached about 400, said officials.
