Kilauea: Inside an Active Volcano
By
Inside the Active Volcano Kilauea. I strongly recommend AGAINST doing this. I got very bad sulpher poisoning and it took me almost a year to recover.

see this is why i wanna move to oahu. coming home or waking up… or even going outside to realize there’s vog everywhere is irritating. and it burnns my lungs, nose and throat. =[

Imagine taking videos of an erupting volcanoe then realised you were too close to the gushing lava then fleeing in a pickup with the lava breathing down your neck…cool ya?

A sinking feeling you say? I wonder if I’d ever get used to the Kona Vog. I sure as hell couldn’t get used to the coffee. Whats the deal with sitting in Kona, drinking a kona coffee and NOT enjoying it? I blam the sugar & milk really.

That sulfur is pretty poisoning stuff. You notice a sinking feeling after recovering from it. Careful. The volcanic vog coming over Kailua, Kona causes a haze in the sunset. It something I have to get used to I guess. Living from Los Gatos and coming here is a different story.

I’ve been thinking about this, you’re right, it may never go and it may just die down. But when you look at the nature of volcanoes when all those outlets seal up the pressure could release in a massive explosion one day. Also, with regards to the volcanoes nearby, it looks like those have blown large in the past. There are also forming rifts which suggest a massive landslide is imminent. we’ll see of course

its never gonna exlode.theres way too many outlets for the pressure to escape..what it is doing now with eh exception of a large small scale event or two this is it…in all reality i think it’s dying down the earthquakes are hollow lava cathedrals collasping many miles below the island..but then again i could wrong

I expected roses and jasmine. I’m thinking of writing a nasty letter to the Government and have them do something about it

It smells really bad…? What did you expect?
Lame video made worse by your aggressive responses to postings.
It’s ‘SULPHUR’ if you’re going to be so pedantic.

yah when we were there, thats when there was an earthquake on big island, a week ago. they said mauna loa is expanding and is due to erupt soon. tour guide guy said it could split the island in half.

Think of it as a scabed wound on your arm. The lava is directly below and to my knowledge cooling. however, the surface of both kilauea AND mauna loa are expanding, meaning that fresh lava is filling and a new eruption is inevitable sometime in the future. However, Kilauea drains out into the Pua’ua crater. Thats where all the lava flows into the ocean come from. when Mauna Loa pops, it’s going to be felt around the world

it might have been more active when you went, but when we went there, there wasnt steam coming out of it except the dispersed vents around it. its all bordered off, u cant go where there are many steam vents. thats why i said the one i was at was a hidden steam vent…one u have access to that they didnt block out. maybe it was relatively new. im trying to find out how deep the lava is below the surface that is giving rise to the steam etc
