The Lava river has reached the ocean. But it's not done causing trouble.
It's producing clouds of what looks like steam, but it isn't. It's something called "laze" (another new word) which is a mixture of water steam, hydrochloric acid and tiny pieces of volcanic glass. It has a similar effect on the skin, eyes and (especially) lungs as battery acid. And the wind is blowing it all over. (Luckily that's diluting it somewhat.)
