Wow, very interesting to hear from 100 years ago what the volcano was doing! The gentleman narrating was very descriptive, it was easy to imagine what was happening.

Wonderful retrospective from a legendary figure. I remember being able to walk into the Kilauea caldera and overlook the Halemaumau crater the first time I visited the volcano park and wondering if I would live long enough to see another eruption there. I have many fond memories of visiting the Jagger museum and enjoying the amazing view from the rim’s edge.

Wonderfully compiled archival images and audio. Thank you, USGS!

Kilauea's sort of bipolar nature is fascinating. Thanks for this!

Beautifully put together. Mahalo ❤

Thank you so much❤ Really neat to hear the story😊

Kilauea has a history of deadly explosive eruptions with deadly pyroclastic flows … Google several hundred Hawaiian warriors killed by Kilauea pyroclastic flow .

Thank you for the video! Learned alot! Frank

Very interesting. I can't believe how close some of the people were standing to an active erupting volcano!

In early 1960, an eruption suddenly broke up out of the ground in Kapoho, the location of the many earthquake cracks shown at the start of this clip. This eruption destroyed the town of Kapoho in addition to wiping out Warm Springs, a scenic spot nearby which can be seen in the map shown at 1:32. Nature in the raw is seldom mild.

Wild fact- May 18th 1924 a man by the last name of Truman was killed by a volcano. Then EXACTLY 56 years later- May 18th 1980 a man by the last name of Truman was killed by a volcano.😮

Some 'bad business' happening back then! Lol

If 710 to 640 million years ago, the earth was a snowball. Was there a giant supercontinent under the ice, and where was it in comparison to Yellowstone? Plus, when Yellowstone last erupted 640 million years ago, was it under ice and water? If so, why have I never heard this? I've watched 100s of documentaries on Yellowstone throughout my life and have never heard it was under ice and water on a snowball earth. Peace and Ahev
