Hawaii volcano: Poisonous gas and shards of glass created as lava from the Kilauea volcano hits the ocean

The eruption of the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii has taken a more dangerous turn for people in the area.

The lava that has been flowing from the volcano has now reached the ocean.

As it hits the water it creates a chemical reaction which makes dangerous gasses and tiny bits of glass.

People have been told to avoid the cloud that has been created as it can cause breathing and skin problems.
