Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park
Address: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, HI 96718
Established: August 1, 1916
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is on Hawaii Island (the Big Island). At its heart are the Kīlauea and Mauna Loa active volcanoes. The Crater Rim Drive passes steam vents and the Jaggar Museum, which features volcanology exhibits and a viewpoint overlooking Halema'uma'u Crater. Thick ferns mark the entrance to the Thurston Lava Tube (Nāhuku). The Chain of Craters Road weaves over lava. Trails crisscross the park.
Kilauea Volcano:
Last eruption: May 3, 2018
Elevation: 4,091′
Prominence: 60′
Location: Hawaiʻi, United States
Volcanic arc/belt: Hawaiian–Emperor seamount chain
Kīlauea is an active shield volcano in the Hawaiian Islands that last erupted between 1983 and 2018. Historically, Kīlauea is the most active of the five volcanoes that together form the island of Hawaiʻi.
Did you know: Kīlauea erupted nearly continuously from 1983 to 2018, causing considerable property damage, including the destruction of the towns of Kalapana in 1990, and Vacationland Hawaii and Kapoho in 2018.

Driving To See The Lava Flow - Big Island Hawaii
This is the road which takes you to the only sanctioned viewing area where it's possible to see the current lava flow from the slopes of Kilauea reach the ocean. The road is little more than a thin layer of asphalt laid directly over previous lava flows which covered the old road. There is a parking area at the end of the road. Before getting to the viewing area (the walk is nowhere near as long or treacherous as you are led to believe...) you have to run the gauntlet of vendors who are trying to sell you flashlights, water, walking sticks, pictures, etc., out of the trunks of their cars.
Island of Hawaiʻi, Hawaii, United States, North America
The Island of Hawaiʻi, also called the Big Island or Hawaiʻi Island, is the largest and the southeastern-most of the Hawaiian islands, a chain of volcanic islands in the North Pacific Ocean. With an area of 4,028 square miles (10,430 km2), it is larger than all of the other islands in the archipelago combined and is the largest island in the United States. The island is coterminous with the County of Hawaiʻi within the American state of Hawaii. The island of Hawaiʻi is known as the Big Island to reduce confusion between island and the state. The largest city on the island is Hilo, which is also the seat of government for the county. Hawaiʻi is said to have been named for Hawaiʻiloa, the legendary Polynesian navigator who first discovered it. Other accounts attribute the name to the legendary realm of Hawaiki, a place from which the Polynesian people are said to have originated (see also Manua), the place where they go in the afterlife, the realm of the gods and goddesses. Captain James Cook, the European to discover the Hawaiian islands and call them the Sandwich Islands, was killed on the Big Island at Kealakekua Bay. Hawaiʻi was the home island of Paiʻea Kamehameha, later known as Kamehameha the Great. Kamehameha united most of the Hawaiian islands under his rule in 1795, after several years of war, and gave the kingdom and the island chain the name of his native island. In greatest dimension, the island is 93 miles (150 km) across and has a land area of 4,028 square miles (10,430 km2) comprising 62% of the Hawaiian Islands' land area. Measured from its sea floor base to its highest peak, Mauna Kea is the world's tallest mountain, taller than Mount Everest is above sea level. Geological evidence from exposures of old surfaces on the south and west flanks of Mauna Loa led to the proposal that two ancient volcanic shields (named Ninole and Kulani) were all but buried by the younger Mauna Loa. Geologists now consider these outcrops to be part of the earlier building of Mauna Loa. Another volcano which has already disappeared below the surface of the ocean is Māhukona. Because Mauna Loa and Kīlauea are active volcanoes, the island of Hawaii is still growing. Between January 1983 and September 2002, lava flows added 543 acres (220 ha) to the island. Lava flowing from Kīlauea has destroyed several towns, including Kapoho in 1960, and Kalapana and Kaimu in 1990. In 1987 lava filled in Queen's Bath, a large, L-shaped, freshwater pool in the Kalapana area. The southmost point in the 50 States of the United States, Ka Lae, is on Hawaii. The nearest landfall to the south is in the Line Islands. To the north of the Island of Hawaii is the Island of Maui, whose Haleakala volcano is visible from Hawaii across the Alenuihaha Channel. About 35 km (22 mi) southeast of Hawaii lies the undersea volcano known as Loihi. Loihi is an erupting seamount that now reaches about 3,200 feet (980 m) below the surface of the ocean. Continued activity from Loihi will likely cause it to break the surface of the ocean sometime from 10,000 to 100,000 years from now. The Great Crack is an eight-mile-long, 60 feet (18 m) wide and 60 feet (18 m) deep fissure in the island, in the district of Kau. According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), The Great Crack is the result of crustal dilation from magmatic intrusions into the southwest rift zone of Kilauea. While neither the earthquake of 1868 nor that of 1975 caused a measurable change in The Great Crack, lava welled out of the lower 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) of the Great Crack in 1823. The visitor can find trails, rock walls, and archaeological sites from as old as the 12th century around the Great Crack. Approximately 1,951 acres (7.90 km2) of private land were purchased during the Presidency of Bill Clinton, specifically to protect various artifacts in this area as well as the habitat of local wildlife. The Hilina Slump is a 4,760 cubic miles (19,800 km3) chunk of the south slope of the Kīlauea volcano which is slipping away from the island. Between 1990 and 1993, Global Positioning System (GPS) measurements showed a southward displacement of about 10 centimeters (four inches) per year. Undersea measurements show that a bench has formed a buttress and that this buttress may tend to reduce the likelihood of future catastrophic detachment. As of 2010, the island had a resident population of 185,079 There were 64,382 households in the county.
Lava Flow Ocean Entry (Big Island, Hawaii)
One morning we decided to make the long walk out to where the lava flow had been entering into the ocean. It was so much more amazing than I could have imagined. Nothing fancy here, just a few short clips joined together. Recorded on January 13, 2017.
Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, Hawaii County, Hawaii, United States, North America
Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, established in 1916, is a United States National Park located in the U.S. State of Hawaiʻi on the island of Hawaiʻi. It encompasses two active volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active volcanoes, and Mauna Loa, the world's most massive volcano. The park gives scientists insight into the birth of the Hawaiian Islands and ongoing studies into the processes of vulcanism. For visitors, the park offers dramatic volcanic landscapes as well as glimpses of rare flora and fauna. In recognition of its outstanding natural values, Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park was designated as an International Biosphere Reserve in 1980 and a World Heritage Site in 1987. In 2000 the name was changed by the Hawaiian National Park Language Correction Act of 2000 observing the Hawaiian spelling. In 2012 the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park was honored on the 14th quarter of the America the Beautiful Quarters collection. The park includes 323,431 acres (505.36 sq mi; 1,308.88 km2) of land. Over half of the park is designated the Hawaii Volcanoes Wilderness area and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. The park encompasses diverse environments that range from sea level to the summit of the Earth's most massive volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet (4,169 m). Climates range from lush tropical rain forests, to the arid and barren Kaʻū Desert. Active eruptive sites include the main caldera of Kīlauea and a more active but remote vent called Puʻu ʻŌʻō. The main entrance to the park is from the Hawaii Belt Road. The Chain of Craters Road, as the name implies, leads past several craters from historic eruptions to the coast. It used to continue to another entrance to the park near the town of Kalapana, but that portion is now covered by a lava flow. Kīlauea and its Halemaʻumaʻu caldera were traditionally considered the sacred home of the volcano goddess Pele, and Hawaiians visited the crater to offer gifts to the goddess. In 1790, a party of warriors (along with women and children who were in the area) were caught in an unusually violent eruption. Many were killed and others left footprints in the lava that can still be seen today. The first western visitors to the site, English missionary William Ellis and American Asa Thurston, went to Kīlauea in 1823. Ellis wrote of his reaction to the first sight of the erupting volcano: a spectacle, sublime and even appalling, presented itself before us. 'We stopped and trembled.' Astonishment and awe for some moments rendered us mute, and, like statues, we stood fixed to the spot, with our eyes riveted on the abyss below. The volcano became a tourist attraction in the 1840s, and local businessmen such as Benjamin Pitman and George Lycurgus ran a series of hotels at the rim. Volcano House is the only hotel or restaurant located within the borders of the National Park. In January 2010 it was closed temporarily for renovation; as of January 2011 it had not yet re-opened. Lorrin A. Thurston, grandson of the American missionary Asa Thurston, was one of the driving forces behind the establishment of the park after investing in the hotel from 1891 to 1904. William R. Castle first proposed the idea in 1903. Thurston, who then owned the Honolulu Advertiser newspaper, printed editorials in favor of the park idea. In 1907, the territory of Hawaii paid for fifty members of Congress and their wives to visit Haleakala and Kīlauea. It included a dinner cooked over lava steam vents. In 1908 Thurston entertained Secretary of the Interior James Rudolph Garfield, and in 1909 another congressional delegation. Governor Walter F. Frear proposed a draft bill in 1911 to create Kilauea National Park for $50,000. Thurston and local landowner William Herbert Shipman proposed boundaries, but ran into some opposition from ranchers. Thurston printed endorsements from John Muir, Henry Cabot Lodge, and former President Theodore Roosevelt. After several attempts, the legislation introduced by delegate Jonah Kūhiō Kalaniana'ole finally passed to create the park. House Resolution 9525 was signed by Woodrow Wilson on August 1, 1916. It was the 11th National Park in the United States, and the first in a Territory. Within a few weeks, the National Park Service Organic Act would create the National Park Service to run the system. Originally called Hawaii National Park, it was split from the Haleakalā National Park on September 22, 1960. An easily accessible lava tube was named for the Thurston family. An undeveloped stretch of the Thurston Lava Tube extends an additional 1,100 ft (340 m) beyond the developed area and dead-ends into the hillside. Though it is blocked by a chain link fence to keep unwary visitors from entering, the easily traversed stretch is in fact open to the public and accessible through a gate in the fence.

Lava Ocean Entry Begins On Hawaii Island (July 26, 2016)
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.

Lava Flow Viewing at Kalapana
The Kalapana Safe Viewing program is the result of a cooperative effort of county, state, federal, private agencies and the local community to develop a safe viewing program for visitors and residents.
A temporary 2.6-mile path to Kilauea's lava flow was carved out of the pahoehoe. The lava-covered road on the remote Kalapana coastline was restored to make it easier and safer for people determined to watch lava that flows from underground tubes into the ocean, sending up spectacular plumes of steam.
The road, State Highway 130, once allowed motorists to travel through Kalapana and along the Chain of Craters Road to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. It was destroyed by lava in the years after Kilauea erupted in 1983.
The gravel road at the Kalapana end of the paved portion of Highway 130 will be open every day from 2 to 8:30 p.m. After parking, visitors must hike about 20 minutes to the viewing spot.
Previously, lava viewers had to drive down the Chain of Craters Road through Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and then hike six miles to see the lava, an eight-hour round trip.
Visitors will be allowed entry to the viewing area every day from 2 p.m., with the last vehicles allowed at 8:30 p.m. This will allow officials to ensure that everybody is out of the area by 10 p.m. Visitors are reminded to obey all the warning signs and stay within the barricades to ensure their safety.
The newly formed lava and black sand beach beyond the barricades are extremely unstable, and can collapse into the ocean at any time. Visitors must stay well away from the volcanic steam clouds which contain hydrochloric acid and glass particles. (volcanogallery.com)

Lava from a volcano in Hawaii is creeping closer to the main road of a village, where residents are preparing to flee.
The flaming wall of magma advanced about 750ft (230 metres) in just one day on the Big Island over the weekend, said authorities.
The flow lobe, which has been spewing since June, is now about half a mile from the main street of Pahoa.
The lava has already passed through a mainly Buddhist cemetery, covering grave sites.
Kilauea volcano has been erupting since 1983, spreading its lava south and northeast.
Darryl Oliveira, director of civil defence for Hawaii County, told reporters on Sunday the nearest home was at least 900ft from the flow front.
Residents said they could see the lava threatening Pahoa Village Road from their homes, and were ready to evacuate.
Methane explosions have also been heard from pockets of decomposing vegetation, said Janet Babb, a local geologist.
At the time that it happened, it was such a rumble I thought it was thunder and that we were about to be struck by lightning, she said.

Rivers of molten lava high up Pulama Pali - Kilauea Volcano Hawaii
A surge of lava spews out of a rupture in the lava tube system and is heading down steep cliffs, or pali in Hawaiian. This strong flow is being supplied lava from Kilauea Volcano's Pu`u O`o Crater four miles to the northwest. The rupture was at the 1600-foot elevation about four miles northwest of Kalapana Gardens, and directly above the old Royal Gardens subdivision.
Further down the mountain I shot the rough a`a lava and chunky pahoehoe lava river, and at the 800-ft elevation I videoed the lava 'toes'.
