Kīlauea Documentary - 2005-2019 Eruptions 

100% Agreed

Absolutely agree which is why I shared it, and I'm very happy so many people are getting education and entertainment value out of it. Sadly the company that released the video and worked with the scientists to get all the footage no longer exists. I was fortunate to purchase a copy of their DVDs which I ripped without compression and uploaded. It would be tragic if all of these videos were lost, so here we are.

@@amitj4917 What is the original title of this DVDs? The same as on RU-vid?

@@Aves81 I believe this one was called "Eruption Update: A Firsthand Account of the Current Eruption of Kilauea Volcano". I don't think I hung onto the DVDs after ripping and uploading them. Unfortunately, they are no longer available for purchase anywhere that I can find. I updated the description on each video that I uploaded from Volcano Video Productions to provide more information.

Ppppppppppppppppp

For the record, I am not associated with the company that put this together. I bought the DVDs but the parent company no longer exists so I'm sharing them because these are impossible to find now.

Hi Susan. Unfortunately if you read the description of this RU-vid video, you'll see that the company that made these went out of business during Covid. That said, I imagine they'd be thrilled that you appreciated their efforts!

It's absolutely awful. For 30 years they provided so much value and now they are gone. Ken Hon (who was the primary narrator and videographer in all these videos) now serves as the Scientist-in-Charge of the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO), so hopefully we get more content like this in the future as new eruptions happen.

@@hokudadog7637 I wanted to link to a page in the description that describes their contributions but I couldn't find one. If you know of one, reply with web search string that will point me there (links often get blocked in YT comments) and I'll add it. I know Ken is now the Scientist-in-Charge at the HWO, but info about the entire team in general is harder to find in one place.

@@robert-zj7ef I can envision that scene as you described it and it game me a big smile! So happy you could enjoy this together.

We fixed the glitch. The problem should just work itself out on it's own now.

No permits required, either :D

Do you know why it’s producing andesite? Is it melting previously erupted basalt that has already crystallized out mafic minerals or is water mixing in somehow a catalyst? I wonder how many tsunamis these islands have produced over time when huge shelfs collapse into the sea and how large they might be.

@@alexburke1899 What happened is after the 1955 eruption was over the leftover basaltic magma undergound cooled very slowly in a process called fractional crystallization. Geologyhub has a detailed video about this eruption. Look for the video in his channel called Kilauea Erupted the Wrong Lava. About 10 years back a new well was being drilled at the Puna Geothermal plant the drill hit a pocket of dacite magma right where the 2018 eruption took place at.

No.

Lava finds a weak spot in the mantle. Either near the edges of a plate or in Hawaii it’s in the middle which is unique. It’s a very fine balance and for us to be able up walk right next to it while it is erupting is amazing. It’s the portal to the center of the earth.

Think about it. What you asked happened exactly as you mentioned. The lava erupted into the ocean floor. It kept erupting thru the same hole until the lava was above the ocean waterline. And it kept pouring out of that same hole and the island was created. As long as the the island stays in place, the hot spot under the island will continue to pour lava out of the same hole in the island ,,The same hole which has semi-liquid melted rock and has less resistance to magma being pushed up through the hotspot.

That'd be nice but no I just have these documentaries from the original DVDs

Ameaça de morte

???

For seconds at most. Don't attempt unless your life is in danger and it's the last option available.

And exactly how should this be done ???

Don’t build there buddy.

have you ever thought that the things we use to channel lava would you know, MELT?

It's not about creating new land...it's about sending a message
