Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park Marathon Run
I was lucky to be joined by two people for part of the marathon at Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. For the first ten miles I was joined by my new friend Myunggi An. I don't remember the story about how he found out about my project but got inspired enough to fly all the way from Detroit to run with me. I am humbled that he would make such a journey but thankful he did. We had a blast running on the lava field on the Ka'u Desert Trail. We dealt with a 25 mile per hour headwind for most of the run but got to experience several different types of lava and Pele's hair, this golden volcanic glass that made the ground sparkle.
As I continued I got caught in the rain, saw a wild boar, ran through a lava tube and ran across the crater of a volcano. As you watch you get a peak into the kookybirds realm of my mind. Sometimes when I'm out running on my own I get a phrase or a piece of a song in my head and I repeat it over and over. In this case it was when I was on the Kilauea Iki Trail. That name just seemed to roll off my tongue again and again.
Around mile 22 I met up with my second friend Mark Bydalek. I also don't remember the story about where he heard about my project but he wanted to join me to put the cap on his own running endeavor. He had the goal to run at least five kilometers in all 50 states and Hawaii would be the last one. He reached this goal in 24 months. Just the travel alone is a challenge! I was honored that he wanted to cap off his effort with me. We ran together from the overlook of the Kilauea Volcano to the Visitor Center.
Running on lava fields was amazing. Running through a tropical forest was amazing. But sharing it with others is the most amazing of all.

Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano - Behind the News
There have been some pretty amazing pictures from the island of Hawaii. A volcano there, named Kilauea, has been erupting and spewing out rivers of lava which have destroyed homes and cars. It's pretty scary stuff from a distance, so imagine what it's like for the people who live there. We caught up with some Hawaiian locals and found out more about their fiery mountain.
TEACHER RESOURCES (yr 5,6 Science | yr 8 Geography)
Students will investigate the causes of volcanoes and their impact on people and the environment.

HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK | BIG ISLAND | Travel Vlog #2
THIS IS MY SECOND FAVORITE PLACE IN THE WORLD.
TOP 2 is Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on Big Island!!!!
A place where death and life coexists.
A place where you can truly feel mother earth breathe.
It was raining in the morning. But - as per usual - the rain stopped as we stepped outside. Although it was not a sunny day, the rain kept us chill during the hike. AND BLESSED US WITH A DOUBLE RAINBOW!!!! The lava - its movement, the crackling and its intense heat - I was at a loss of words and felt incredibly humbled.
Hope you guys enjoy this video and get to visit one day.
Much love!

HAWAII TODAY - Kilauea volcano eruption (July 1, 2019)
Hawaii today News (July 1, 2019). Kilauea volcano eruption. Then and now! 2018 LERZ eruption in Hawaii. That time when the lava river above Green Mountain looked like a veritable sea of lava. My friend is throwing his house keys into the lava river, after losing his home to the biggest eruption on Kilauea Volcano in over 200 years. This eruption is now over, but for many, recovery will take a lifetime.

Namakani Paio Campground, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Written and Produced by Donald B MacGowan
Narrated by Frank Burgess
Video and Still Photography by Donnie MacGowan and Frank Burgess
This is one of my favorite spots to be on earth, to camp under a canopy of fragrant eucalyptus trees, in the embrace of Madame Pele, with nothing but ocean between you and Antarctica, nothing but stars between you and infinity. Nestled snugly between the Hawai'i Belt Road and Mauna Loa, perched on the summit of Kilauea Volcano, this small campground occupies one of the most spectacular, if precarious, positions of any campground, anywhere.
There are trails everywhere here, and I urge you to explore them. Crossing Highway 11, a trail of unsurpassed views of Mauna Loa wanders over the summit of Kilauea in less than a mile to the Jagger Museum. Heading north from behind the restroom, another trail crosses the divide between Mauna Loa and Kilauea to fields and kipukas and the best sunrise view of Mauna Loa, anywhere.
At 4200 feet elevation, days as well as nights can be quite cold and many days in a row of rain and fog are not uncommon. Be sure your clothing and camping gear are up to keeping you comfortable. On clear nights the sky seems pocked with stars here and one can frequently see the glow from the volcano's fire reflected in the sky. Rarely is the campground troubled by vog.
Namakani Paio Campground is located immediately west of the Main Entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, halfway between the 31 and 32 mile markers. Clean, efficient cabins are available for rent from the National Park Service at Namakani Paio Campground and tent sites are free, available first-come, first served.
Lava flow in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park
Near the 'sea arch' in the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in the Big Island, the road was destroyed by lava few years ago. Currently the terrain is quite other worldly with its rough rocky landscape. We walked for 5 hours on highly unstructured terrain formed by solidified lava - in a drizzling afternoon. And finally we reached the spot at dusk, where molten lava was flowing down the slope to gradually fall into the Pacific Ocean. We headed back walking another 4 hours - sometimes in moonlight, sometimes using our flashlights whenever the clouds created shadow. 'Pele' - the Hawaiian Goddess of volcanoes showed us her wrath and might in that moonlit night!

DAY HIKE in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park | DAY 1
Hiking in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park was definitely an awesome experience. I flew from Honolulu to the Big Island Hilo, and met up with 3 of my friends who signed up for this adventure as well.
Zach Royer, our local guide brought us into the park and we started our hike down into Kīlauea Iki crater lake. The breathtaking scenery at the crater does look like a Hollywood movie scene from Interstellar.
We then drove to Mauna Kea, and did a extreme hike up to the hills. My ears were almost frozen due to the strong wind & chilly temperature up there, and I had to borrow a snow beanie from a friend of mine.
Later, we stopped by at Maunakea Visitor Information Station, and checked out some cool science/astronomy devices.

Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, Thomas Jaggar Museum, Hawai'i, United States, North America
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is a volcano observatory located at Uwekahuna Bluff on the rim of Kīlauea Caldera on the Island of Hawaiʻi. The observatory monitors four active Hawaiian volcanoes: Kīlauea, Mauna Loa, Hualālai, and Haleakalā. Because Kīlauea and Mauna Loa are significantly more active than Hualālai and Haleakalā, much of the observatory's research is concentrated on the former two mountains. The observatory has a worldwide reputation as a leader in the study of active volcanism. Due to the relatively non-explosive nature of Hawaiian volcanic eruptions, scientists can study on-going eruptions in proximity without being in extreme danger. Located at the main site is the public Thomas A. Jaggar Museum. Besides the oral history of Ancient Hawaiians, several early explorers left records of observations. Rev. William Ellis kept a journal of his 1823 missionary tour, and Titus Coan documented eruptions through 1881. Scientists often debated the accuracy of these descriptions. When prominent geologist Thomas Jaggar of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology gave a lecture in Honolulu in 1909, he was approached by businessman Lorrin A. Thurston (grandson of Asa Thurston who was on the 1823 missionary tour) about building a full-time scientific observatory at Kīlauea. The Hawaiian Volcano Research Association was formed by local businessmen for its support. George Lycurgus, who owned the Volcano House at the edge of the main caldera, proposed a site adjacent to his hotel and restaurant. In 1911 and 1912, small cabins were built on the floor of the caldera next to the main active vent of Halemaʻumaʻu, but these were hard to maintain. MIT added $25,000 in support in 1912 from the estate of Edward and Caroline Whitney to build a more permanent facility. The first instruments were housed in a cellar next to the Volcano House called the Whitney Laboratory of Seismology. Inmates from a nearby prison camp had excavated through 5.5 feet (1.7 m) of volcanic ash. Massive reinforced concrete walls supported a small building built on top of the structure. Professor Fusakichi Omori of Japan, now best known for his study of aftershocks, designed the original seismometers. This seismograph vault (building number 29 on a site inventory) is state historic site 10-52-5506, and was added to the National Register of Historic Places on July 24, 1974 as site 74000292. From 1912 until 1919, the observatory was run by Jaggar personally. Many important events were recorded, although as pioneers, the team often ran into major problems. For example, in 1913 an earthquake opened a crack in a wall and water seeped in. The windows meant to admit natural light caused the vault to heat up in the intense tropical sun. The opening of the national park in 1916 (at the urging of Thurston) brought more visitors to bother the scientists, but also park rangers who would take over public lectures. The prison that had supplied laborers was replaced by the Kīlauea Military Camp. In 1919, Jaggar convinced the National Weather Service to take over operations at the observatory. In 1924, the observatory was taken over by the US Geological Survey and it has been run by the USGS ever since (except for a brief period during the Great Depression, when the observatory was run by the National Park Service). When the Volcano House hotel burned to the ground in 1940, the old building was torn down (although the instruments in the vault continued to be used until 1961).
George Lycurgus convinced friends in Washington D.C. (many of whom had stayed in the Volcano House) to build a larger building farther back from the cliff, so he could built a new larger hotel at the former HVO site. By 1942, the Volcano Observatory and Naturalist Building was designated number 41 on the park inventory. However, with the advent of World War II, it was commandeered as a military headquarters. HVO was allowed to use building 41 from October 1942 to September 1948, when it became the park headquarters (and still is today, after several additions). About two miles west, in an area known as Uwekahuna, a National Park Museum and Lecture Hall had been built in 1927. The name means roughly the priest wept in the Hawaiian Language, which indicates it might have been used to make offerings in the past. The HVO moved there in 1948 after some remodeling of the building. This site was even closer to the main vent of Kīlauea. In 1985 a larger building was built for the observatory adjacent to the old lecture hall, which was turned back into a museum and public viewing site. Modern electronic equipment now monitors earthquakes from several sites.

HAWAII VOLCANO Kilauea AERIAL VIEW of Burning Lava! (June 3,2018)
Don't miss out! Click SUBSCRIBE & the BELL for Future Updates! Lava from the Leilani Estates Fissure # 8 continues to issue huge volumes of hot rock into a lava river, running across the subdivision and collecting in a gigantic perched pond (storage area), which feeds lava downslope to Kapoho. Residents of the subdivisions between Four Corners and where the lava entered the sea near McKenzie State Park are now effectively cut off from the rest of the island. Fountaining at Fissure 8 continued unabated during the day, feeding a channelized lava flow to the northeast along Highway 132 that has crossed Highway 137 at the intersection of the two highways at 9:30 AM this morning. The flow continued advancing into Kapoho Crater and Kapoho Beach Lots. At 10 AM, lava entered Green Lake within Kapoho Crater producing a large steam plume. By 1:30 PM the steam plume had ceased and by 3 pm, a Hawaii County Fire Department overflight reported that lava had filled the lake and apparently evaporated all the water. Other branches of the Fissure 8 lava flow were inactive.
The only other lava flow noted by the morning overflight was at Fissure 16, which was weakly active.
Pele's hair and other lightweight volcanic glass from high fountaining of Fissure 8 are falling downwind of the fissure and accumulating on the ground within Leilani Estates. Winds may waft lighter particles to greater distances. Residents are urged to minimize exposure to these volcanic particles, which can cause skin and eye irritation similar to volcanic ash..This video is courtesy of Paradise Helicopters and Tropical Visions Mahalo Tūtū Pele Aloha ????

Why Hawaii's volcano is so UNUSUAL
Hawaii is known for its volcanoes, but most volcanoes on earth exist along tectonic plate lines. Hawaii does not! What causes Hawaii to form, and how is it related to the mystery of a magnetic bar code across the Pacific Ocean? Host Dianna Cowern chatted with geologist Noah Randolph-Flagg from UC Berkeley while hiking on the island of Kauai.
