Sorry - I did not have the time yet to publish the variety of
information as well as heaps of valuable links that we gathered
about the active volcanoes on Hawaii.
But I promise, I will do so as soon as we will be back in
Switzerland with access to our data and pictures.
________________________________________________
Brief introduction about the most active volcano on Hawaii
(Kilauea - Active Vent "Puu'o'o"):
Big Island of Hawaii offers some of the best possibilities to
see an active volcano at its best. We did many expeditions
on Big Island since 1995 and we were able to get incredible
pictures of the ongoing eruption that startet in 1986.
Contact us - if You're interestet in our picture-gallery or in
stunning film material that could be perfectly used for an
upper class "volcano" film. Our speciality is close-ups - or "the
inner live of a volcano".
"Backdraft"
Lava tube, Episode 52, Big Island Hawaii
We called this nice underground lavaflow "backdraft-flow" as
the lava causing that hump in the middle of the picture was
flowing upward. (Better to see on our film).
"Lavatube
and Sea Entrance", Episode 52
Collapsed surface above lavatube. The cloud in the back shows the
lava entering the sea about 4 miles to the east.
"Pumpkin
style" flow, Episode 55, Big Island Hawaii
Fast Lava flow close to the crater of puu'o'o showing how soft lava
can flow at its exit temperature of almost 1200 degrees celsius.
