Abe, the only way at this point you can witness it in person is to get a helicopter flight over it. The area of yesterday's fissure outbreak is nowhere near developed land and you don't want to hike out there on your own, as you may end up IN the earth instead of hiking across it. Check out this video shot from a cameraman on a chopper:
