Real burning hot lava? It does look frightfully dangerous! What was the ambient temperature?

Luckily, the ambient temperature is nowhere near the actual surface temperature of the lava. I'd say standing 6 feet away, it felt like being close to an open burning oven, so perhaps around 350 degrees F. Otherwise, the actual air temperature was around 75 degrees F.

6 feet? 350 degrees F? I don't know how much is it but I'm glad that you didn't get burns. :))

I don't want to imagine what the lava feels like to the touch

Luckily, the volcanic flow on Big Island is nice and slow. So it gives residents several days to prepare and plan ahead in case the flow will take over homes/businesses. It happened once back in Sept 2014 when the flow almost went into Pahoa town. It kept the town on edge for many many months, until the flow reached the town center just by a few feet. They say the volcanic goddess Pele decided to spare the town.
