Kilauea is the youngest and southeastern most volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Topographically Kilauea appears as only a bulge on the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa, and so for many years Kilauea was thought to be a mere satellite of its giant neighbor, not a separate volcano. However, research over the past few.... more

This is a slide show of pictures, so I can't share the continuous chorus of burning wood, falling branches, falling trees, crackling lava, and methane explosions. The methane explosions are caused when the heat from the lava.... more

These clips show a lava flow breaking out from an established tube near the base of the cliffside known as Pulama Pali. This flow was probably caused by a surge in the tube, causing the excess lava to break out unto the surface. The tube originated at Pu'u O'o, which is the active vent on the flank of Kilauea.... more
