Lava bed after eruption, photograph by Henry L. Chase, 1868. Kīlauea was the most affected by the lateral displacement associated with the earthquake, as it did not have another major eruption until 1919. [3] It also disrupted the magma system beneath Mauna Loa, as is shown both in reduced lava volumes and an abrupt change in the lava ...
The 1984 eruption of Mauna Loa was a Hawaiian eruption in the U.S. state of Hawaii that lasted from March 25 to April 15, 1984. It ended a 9-year period of quiescence at the volcano and continued for 22 days, during which time lava flows and lava fountains issued from the summit caldera and fissures along the northeast and southwest rift zones.

Boeynaems began an ambitious project to transform the Hawaiian mission cathedral into a unique cathedral in what was to be called Hawaiian Gothic architecture. The first phase of Boeynaemes' project was the construction of an elaborate porch ...
The ongoing volcanic eruptions on Hawaii's Big Island have caused severe damage to residential neighborhoods surrounding the Kilauea volcano. Before-and-after photos reveal Hawaii's volcanic ...
The volcano also erupted in June about a mile south of Kilauea caldera, marking the first eruption in that region of the volcano in about 50 years. The last one took place in December 1974. The ...
The eruption of one the world’s most active volcanoes continues to captivate onlookers on Hawaii’s Big Island. The latest uptick in activity eruption has remained contained within Hawai‘i ...
Kilauea Iki experienced a minor eruption in 1868, which covered the floor of the crater in a thin layer of basalt. [2] This eruption was preceded by the great Ka'ü earthquake of 1868, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake that caused extensive damage on the island and resulted in collapses of the wall in Kilauea's summit caldera, withdrawal of lava from the summit caldera, and the brief eruption in ...
The 1790 Footprints refer to a set of footprints found near the Kīlauea volcano in present-day Hawaii Volcanoes National Park on the island of Hawaiʻi. Resulting from an unusually explosive eruption , they may be associated with a series of battles in the area in 1790.
