Kilauea - The World's Most Active Volcano

- In the month since I visited Kilauea a lot has happened, I though I was lucky to see the pool of lava in Halema'uma'u crater rise high enough that I was able to see bubbling lava from the Jaggar museum. However as we know now this was leading up to something bigger.
Many of the videos I use here are provided by the US Geological Survey: volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/...
Of course I originally thought my videos of bubbling lava would be pretty cool, along with a bunch of other volcano related video I shot before recent events put it into perspective. - Věda a technologie
Kalapana is a part-time home of mine, I have a couple good friends with houses in Leilani. It looks like this flow might settle in and extrude for a long time. Send good thoughts to everyone in Leilani! Most likely do not have lava insurance, and because of the gases may have a difficult time getting through security to collect any belongings.
A high risk to a smallish population means a high premium. Insurance is a business, so they have to earn more in premiums than they pay out.
Question for anybody who can answer it. How long, after these eruptions have cooled, does it take for the ground to break up enough that plant life and trees can return to the area? And are there usable hot springs?
Why did the county allow and provide roads utility service to develop Lailani Estates when there's enough living memory of the destruction of Kapoho in 1960-61?
Why housing was permitted AGAIN in a KNOWN ACTIVE rift zone needs to be asked.
That is NOT the only place to live on the Big Island. Certainly NOT in a KNOWN VOLCANIC AREA.
Not. Real. Smart.
Almost immediately, especially if there is still some vegetation nearby. The lava surfaces are fragile and contain lots of cracks from the get-go -- good places for stuff to take root. That said, the process is much faster where there is more rainfall. The 200 year old Hualalai flows are still pretty stark. After 200 years on the other side of the island you'd probably be hard-pressed to find any rock still exposed, outside of stream cuts and so on. I know there's at least one hot spring along the coast in Puna.
This is why you play the floor is lava as a kid. It's training for this stuff.
The museum has the boots and other gear from a scientist who discovered the floor really was lava.
Don’t worry, he escaped.
Another very good reason not to wear sandals :D
+Scott Manley Good for him
If your eruption lasts longer than 4 hours; please consult a geologist.
Alex Landherr thank you for this comment!
Is this supposed to be sexist? :D
+KatouMegumi_osu
Does that even matter? :D
( Do you even know what the definition of sexist is? xD _you probably don't because your comment makes no sense._ )
KatouMegumi_osu
Sexual*
And yes it is
@@KatouMegumiosu How dare you make fun of things and talking about sutff and trying to sell things and I have an item its an item well I have two items one item is a little older do you want the item?
You know someone is a sciencenerd when he names his children Sky and Orion.
Not just any science nerd, an astronomer!
I thought Scott was a software developer with a strong interest in science.
Here you go! www.reddit.com/r/KerbalSpaceProgram/comments/6qdnqj/is_scott_manley_an_actual_astronomer/
I thought the same. Orion sounds slightly odd name for a person but it sounds much better than Uranus.
Yeah, or Brown Dwarf.
I loved your daughter's musical contribution! Thanks for all you do, Scott - it's very entertaining and informative.
Awesome outro. Well done Skye.
SeaMonkey *Skye*
Agreed. Gave me chills actually.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you do a Videolog. I didn't even feel the need of the "Fly Safe" at the end. It was wonderful, Scott :)
nice video. the ukulele and singing added to the content. keep it up.
thank you, I stand corrected.
The ending was the best part.
Agreed, Skye's singing was great. :)
beautiful song at the end!
I really appreciated that you warned your children of a potential risk but did not forbid them to do what they wanted to because of the risk. That's good parenting.
I thought the song lyrics were going to be "falling in lava with you". :p
Skye has quite the voice (and wow she gets bigger and bigger every time I see her)
Kiddo's growing up.
yeah, wow. Skye was marvelous!
Surprised she didn't sing "I can't help falling in lava with you".
I, too, was impressed with her voice.
I agree! Just as with " You Will Not Go to Space Today" I'm getting a SERIOUS Ingrid Michaelson vibe from Skye's performances. (This is a good thing.)
I am working on my geology degree and I am trying really hard right now to not fall over from some sort of vulcano related fangirl meltdown. This is beautiful. And perfect. And like a unicorn, if unicorns were made of molten rock and deadly gases and had a risk of exploding in glorious apocalyptic destruction.
I want to see that unicorn.
Mafic-Ultramafic volcanoes don't explode
Krakatoa in 1883 wasn't an explosion - just a rapid unscheduled disassembly :)
Wait... you mean they dont?...
+Stefan Buchholtz
Like the Chieftain would say: "A significant emotional event"
Now "Oh my god, the tank is on fire!"
As a geology major, I've come to quite loathe scientists from other fields trying to explain virtually _anything_ Earth Science related. (Makes me wonder how I must sound to an astrophysicist trying to explain space science to people... )
But, I shouldn't be surprised that Scott Manley would be one of the ones who'd put together a video with some actual effort thrown in that's actually quite correct and accurate.
Thanks, I just wish I could confidently go into more detail about this, it'd a giant mountain sized pile of knowledge I'd love to dig into one day.
Geology is quite a fascinating study. Understanding the earth I walk on is kind of crucial for finding interesting gemstones. But I think that astrophysicists might have some useful knowledge in relation to geology since they understand nuclear energy, planetary dynamo cores, planetary formations and such. I mean, they figured out that the moon came from the earth. But there are crossovers in all fields where two sides can benefit one another by looking at the same issue through different analytical lenses. Biology majors... probably not so much. I know even Dawkins has the respect not to lecture about subjects that are far out of his major, and that's what made him useful when together with Krauss, Tyson, and Bill Nye... accept bill nye got way to big for his britches and overstepped his profession in order to preach a rather creepy narrative... I still don't know what to make of that.
But I digress. I think when great minds in different fields all come together and share views, the knowledge gained can be greater than the sum of its parts. Scott is definitely a great aggregator of knowledge from many fields. A jack of many trades in his own right.
Nukes Away
Clearly English isn't your strong suit, because geology is defined as "the *science* that deals with the earth's physical structure and substance, its history, and the processes that act on it."
Please crawl back to the episode of "big bang theory" that you came out of. Nobody cares about your opinion on a subject you clearly understand nothing about. You shouldn't call an academic study a hobby unless you're trying to be funny.
Geo: dealing with the earth
Ology: a subject of study or branch of knowledge
A simple breakdown of the word will tell you exactly what it means. People with any background in the sciences would know this since you really can't be in one of these fields without understanding what a latin prefix and suffix is and you have no excuse for your lack of education on the matter.
Sad is acting like an idiot to garner attention from the public. But I'll leave it there since it's clear that you're just trolling at this point and not actually interested in making an intellectual argument to support your assertion.
I love you basement dwelling shitposters, you make for fascinating subjects of study.
Nukes Away
Now you've taken your assinine assumptions to a whole new level. I grew up on astrophysics through my local astronomical society, I was in a bill gates funded middleschool for the sciences where I took part in the search for exoplanets by recording the spectroscopy readings from a radio telescope to gather information on its chemical makeup and star wobble to indicate a jovian planet in orbit.
I love every scientific pursuit. I loath none of the practices because they are all valid fields of research which advance our knowledge past what it is now. I love Scotts videos, he does an amazing service to this world by making science accessible to the masses by helping them to understand certain aspects of astrophysics.
I'm not a geologist, you are just guessing and taking stabs in the dark at this point, and so far you have yet to provide a demonstrably sound argument. You don't even know what I do for a living. I'm so sorry to hear that you are not trolling, because so far you have been so absurdly asinine that I honestly thought "there's no way he can be serious". So what, then? Are you just a child?
You presume I loath any non geology based science because I recognize geology as a science: you are wrong
You presume I majored in geology: you are wrong.
You think I have harshly judged Scott Manly by daring to acknowledge geology as a science: holy shit, you couldn't be more wrong.
Everything you have stated thus far is your own worthless opinion, and the opinions of intellectual children have no place in a debate about the sciences. You are the one who loaths geologists to the point that you are a bad parody of a show that pretends to be scientific. You are the one attempting to drop trou and take a dump all over a field of study you clearly are not qualified to judge. At this point you are projecting your own ignorance on to others.
Some beatdown you're giving, kid. What exactly is your major? I'm just kidding, I know you don't have one. Otherwise you wouldn't be prone to jumping to so many damn conclusions without a shred of evidence while you infer things I never even implied.
And my English isn't horrible, kid, your reading skills just suck.
This is now my favorite of all your posts.... chillin with the family... and the song at the end was spectacular!
On lunch at work listening to your daughter sing. One of my favorite songs and she sang it so beautifully. Had a co-worker sitting with me and literally had to fight the tears back. Tell her good job.
Great to see you showing an interferogram! The one that you showed is what we call the "wrapped" interferogram because the interferogram phase is wrapped every 2-pi radians. This is the way it comes out of the interferogram formation. We normally do another step to unwrap the phase and estimate the total phase variation. I posted a map made from the unwrapped phase from the interferogram pair of 23 April and 5 May on Twitter: twitter.com/EricFielding/status/992990713863331840
The unwrapped phase makes it more clear the large area around Pu'u O'o where the surface moved down as the magma deflated there. There is a smaller amount of deflation at Haleuma'uma'u.
Sky has a beautiful voice
Loved this upload Scott. This is prob one of my fav videos you have done!
Thank you, Scott! You did a great job of visually explaining whats going on AND saying the Hawaiian names!
Scott- Thank you for a comprehensive and level headed review of what is occur in here. Aloha from Haw’n Acres!
Fantastic Scott, thanks. I thought Lanzarote was exciting. Sky's song and Ukulele playing at the end is delightful!
This is just amazing, Scott! Thank you so much for sharing. =)
I really appreciate your upload. Wide range of information; good breadth and depth and very very interesting/informative. So much thanks for your vacation photos; past information informs the story. Nicely done; excellent video.
Skye killed it with the outro. Lava is so amazing
Loved the video. Now I want to go there. Nice tune to finish on too. You have a great family
Scott: visits Kilauea on honeymoon
Kilauea: opens up new vent and crater
Scott: goes on holiday to Kilauea
Kilauea: opens new fissures
WE MUST SACRIFICE SCOTT TO THE VOLCANO
Quite a different video from you Scott but I sincerely heard a lot of new and interesting things from Hawaii. Thank you.
Nice, and right after I got done watching some USGS videos about this very volcano! Timely.
This was a pretty cool video. Thanks for sharing!
Woa! Daughter AND Dad with the great voices! ;-) Once again, great video!
Thank you for the interesting and informative video! And that ending was great!
Thanks for all the personal views. Great looking family
Nice work Sky on the Elvis tune. Scott, took our boys almost exact same places 18 months ago. Profound impact. Cheers, Jays.
Scott, I visited Kona in Nov for my honeymoon. We had just as much fun exploring the volcano - in fact I recognize some of the locations you're taking video in. What a great place to visit!
Totally agree, was there with my family over Christmas week. It's so neat to watch other people's experience of the same place.
What a beauty video scott!
Thanks for posting, that was fascinating!
listening to skye sing was quite heartwarming
nice video scott
Aw, your daughter has a beautiful voice 😊 Looks like it was a great family vacation!
Cool stuff, what a time to be alive! Thanks for sharing!
Loved the ending...Beautiful singing and playing ukelele .
Awesome thanks for showing us, very interesting.
I lived in Captain Cook and Kailua Kona in 2001 for 9 months. Hualalai volcano is not large by Big Island standards and has not erupted for 200+ years... However, the magma, water, and air circulating within the volcano's inner chambers and lava tubes is subject to tidal influence by the moon ! If one is quiet and simply meditates, one can feel the breath of the volcano emanating from Hualalai's vent !! I also swear I could hear the breathing, air movement in - iiiiinnnnnnn and out - ooouuuutttt ! Long slow sub-sonic rumbling sensations... A profound experience for me I must say. Pele revealed her self to me. A lovely woman.
Hey that solo was quite impressive! Id buy that album!
Sky gave me shivers - beautiful moment, I guess for you as her dad it was even sweeter 🥰!
This was great 😁😁😁 the lava talk and Skye's song haha her voice is really good 👍
My family went on vacation to the big island some years back and noticed the same thing while driving around on the roads to and from Kona. You'd get to a point where the road had literally been dug out of a lava flow with large black igneous rock formations on each side of the highway sheered in near perfect lines perpendicular to the road.
Was very fascinating to observe.
Great Video and wow what a singer :)
That was fucking awesome. Your daughter singing did an amazing job. I just love that song. One of my favorites.
Your daughter has a lovely singing voice! My God! Encourage that and watch her grow :)
Great information and video. Loved the Beatles song on a Ukulele at the end.
Oops, Elvis. :)
Awesome Video published on my birthday
Nice one Scott
I went in 2008-ish, and we walked through the Kilauea caldera prior to the crumbling (1:50). I was most surprised by the jagged nature of the lava.
We also went into one of the unlit lava tubes that terminated after a few hundred meters. We turned off all of our lights, and just sat in pitch blackness, unable to see anything. Our friend then turned on his light, and pointed out an almost perfectly cubical rock (about 12" each side), and said, "so where do you think that came from?" I looked up, and there was an almost perfectly cubical hole in the ceiling. Despite the fact that it was perfectly safe, I wasn't so sure I wanted to be there anymore...
What a lovely and informative video! "The Earth is younger than you"....
Amazing. Never been to Hawaii but all those geologic features remind me a lot of the Reunion Island in the Indian ocean. (a similar kind of volcano if I’m not mistaken)
KMC (Kilauea Military Camp) is an epic place to stay in the park. At night, there is no real light pollution and the amount of stars you can see is incredible.
I was heading into Leilani to help evac a coworker. We heared the radio guy state they were no longer letting people inside the subdivision. We were 3 cars back and said 'naw the letting people through'. Then when it got to the guy in front of us, 5 min later, you could see the national Guard listen for his C.O.s shouts and then stop the guy in front. It took them 5 min to get the same info that we got. So we went down to a friend's farm 1 mile down, and felt another quake. Within 2 min the area was bluish and hazy. The air smelled like a gunpowder fart and we got instant headaches. So into the truck and A/C on. The 6.9 was a biggie too.
I love the way you phrased "the air smelled like a gunpowder fart". I've never smelt a gunpowder fart before, but now I feel as if I've missed out...
so long it smells bad, it's ok. If however you doesnt smell anything in this situation, start worrying you're getting intoxicated.
Loved the ending!
My favorite place to visit, the lava comes out from 130,000' or 25 mile down! Stay at Chateau Kilauea in volcano village rain forest, reasonable with many choices. And the world's only green sand (olivine) beach.
Great video! And your daughter has a lovely voice sir.
El Mapis and Craters of the Moon are some interesting eruption zones in the US. The Southwest of the US has remnants of ancient eruptions. It's a little spooky to see red sandstone and then moonscape with sagebrush.
We visited the Volcano Observatory in the 80's during heavy rain. I was alarmed to see a tiltmeter showing an extreme change, and considered getting off the mountain before being vaporized. But one of the scientists explained that the sensors were in holes that sometimes filled with water, and an eruption was not about to happen. Beautiful country up there, looks like Mars.
Nice one Skye.
Cool stuff, man!
Love going to the Big Island.... I usually stay in Kona.. since the eruption started i want to fly out now!
I went to hawaii when I was younger and I distinctly remember walking over the fresh lava flows at the time. they had pathways marked safe by reflectors, but the reflectors themselves were melting into puddles. After a few hours of exploring I looked down at my brand new Nike shox only to notice I had pretty much melted thru the bottoms entirely!
Very interesting, thanks.
It's amazing to see how nature creates all and how we imitate it already done
Nice Lanikai LU-21 Soprano Ukulele! Great job on the song, I'm still learning myself. Are those Aquila Nylgut strings?
oh sweet ! a new video from scott (turns speakers down) :D
Epic ending! Good job
Cool outro
I got to hike out to the lava fields and see a few breakouts last December. Trip of a lifetime. So so interesting.
Fun fact about the stacks of rock, although a large number of those by major roads are built by tourists, the ancient Hawaiians actually built those (if im not mistaken, could be since its been a while since ive directly studied the culture) as a form of trail marker. It's worth noting that the park service is not a fan of tourists building them in the park.
If you're interested about this kinda stuff, you really should check out the Vestmannaeyjar archipelago in Iceland. They are a series of volcanic islands, the newest being Surtsey, from the 60's. The earliest eruption there was in the 70's, and observing how they dealt with the situation is amazing.
I visited many of the same places about 18 months ago including the lava tube by the Kona airport. Family & friends live in Kona.
I have to say, I am impressed with your pronunciation of the Hawaiian words
great video
:) loved the song at the end
Looking at the lava lake is like a "model" of plate tectonics. The "black slabs" are the continents. The red lava lines are faults and spreading zones. You can even see mini subduction zones.
Zoomer30 It’s pretty wild how physics ‘repeats itself’ on different scales.
Renzsu The beauty of fractals.
"the mountain has started to deflate"
That sounds incredibly odd.
Not really, At least personally to me.
I'm so tired I read that "fellate". It was weird.
I'm incredibly jealous of you for getting to walk out there and take all those photos and rocks. Would you say that walking on new rock is probably the closest thing to walking on another world that any average person can do (as long as its safe to traverse anyways.)?
I am a geologist and you did a nice job.
Looks like you got to be one of the last to actually see the lava lake on the summit of Kilauea. As I'm sure you're aware, the lake drained completely and the caldera collapsed within a couple of months after this video. Thankfully, the park is open again now, but there is currently no lava flowing anywhere in the park to see. I was there in summer of 2017 and I'm looking forward to going back in March 2020 and seeing how things have changed since the last time I was there.
thanks
FYI- The cracks and fissures did not open down rift in/near Leilani until after Pu'u 'O'o collapsed.
I forgot to mention the collapse of Pu'u O'o
Scott any chance there are lava tubes on or in Mars? And if yes, would they be a better option for setting up a habitat to lessen radiation exposure?
What are they going to do after this? Do they remove the rock after it cooled down or do they just leave it there and build a new road around it? Or they just vacate the area?
Awesome!
Do you know if the volcanic activity on early Earth, Mars, Venus, etc. would be similar to what we are seeing in Hawaii?
Aww Skye is getting good. 👍 . sounding like a young Dolores O'Riordan or a Nina Persson . kodos to her and you for supporting her singing .. Hope you bring us more songs from her in the future .. Damn now i feel old again cause she was just a littile lass not long ago
I was last week in Iceland... also a very volcanic pace... there is something unearthly in it...
Did you stay in the village of volcano outside the national park?
I was on a 4th grade field trip to the big island in April 1983 and saw Kīlauea erupting.
how quick did the copyright strike come for skyes performance?
Out of curiosity, I sent an email to the Keck observatory a few days ago and got a very nice response the next day. Keck 2 is OK but Keck 1 was slightly damaged from one of The earthquakes that they suffered. They expect to have it repairedj in a few days.
Brother heading out to Hawaii for his Honeymoon. Wrong islands to experience Kilauea, however. +1 for Skye's awesome musical outtro!
Sky missed an opportunity there!
"I can't help, falling in LAVA with you!"
Very interesting. Hope you were not endangered at any point. This lava tunnel looked wow creepy and dangerous :O ;)
