Hawaii's Summer of Epic Lava
The current eruption of Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii's Big Island is creating a lot of interest in the media and on social networking sites.  This summer is producing some of the most epic lava seen since 1955.  So where are the best sites for information and photos of the ongoing event?  Below we list the 8 best Kilauea Volcano Hawaii Epic Lava sites.
#1
USGS Volcano Hazards Program
For the best scientific information and photos that you won't find anywhere else, like these, check out the USGS's official Volcano Hazards Program Page and click on the sidebar "Multimedia."  From there you can view current maps, videos, image galleries or the current photo chronology of the May 2018 eruption. 
The last 10 days or so are shown on this page.  To go back further click on the Photo & Video Chronology page link and search by date to see the beginning of this eruptive event (or any other event photos).  Start around April 15, 2018 to see how the lava lake at Kilauea Volcano's summit overflowed onto the floor of Halema'uma'u, then collapsed, indicating that something was changing with the volcano.
To scroll through more of the eruption archives go to the Kilauea Archive page for 1997 to 2010 photos and videos.

EPIC LAVA
Epic Lava's website and instagram are the best for current images and videos outside of the USGS's site.

Hawaii News Now
Local coverage of the eruption event with a very Hawaiian flare.  Check out the most popular videos including the one linked here showing the latest addition to the eruptive activity with ground cracks spewing methane fueled blue flames.

CJ Kale
For the artsiest shots of Kilauea and Hawaii in general, you've got to check out CJ Kale and his Lava Light Gallery.  This photographer is amazing.

Demian has produced some of the most iconic images of this eruption, like the one above.  He also has the best up to the minute video on his instagram feed, however, due to apparent copying without attribution he is now overlaying all the video with big copyright images which kind of detract from the experience.  Still, if you want to know what's going on.  This guy has it.
One of Demian's early videos of this eruption (from May 5, 2018), before he began overlaying the videos with copyright information.

Simon doesn't have that many volcano posts but what he does have are really interesting, like this Hot Yoga, above.

Chema Malavia
Chema may be the one of the most famous Spaniards because of some of his tattoo choices. Below, in the Marcos Domingo Sánchez series Human in Negative, you can see his full-back tattoo of, well, a spinal column. What? Yeah.
And in the top photo a full-color Roman numeral "13" tattoo.  Huh?  More photos @Chema. . . where you can find some photos like the one below where no tattoos are showing.  Better.
