Are there gonna be any animals?
From watching the clip, I decided to have my Adult Education students watch the show. Is it possible that you have any lesson plans to go along with the program?
WOW!!!!!
Yes, there will be a lesson plan forthcoming for “Kilauea: Mountain of Fire.” It will be published to the
Web site by the summer (check back in June). You can see our existing material for educators here: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/nature/category/for-educators/
Another stunning achievement by Mother Nature… It will fascinate adults and youngsters alike, I’m certain.
Fascinating, to say the least. I am looking forward to watching this, and special thanks to the crew for their dedication in providing such a spectacular view of this natural wonder!
Great underwater work, that looks like Mike May shooting!
Hey, I saw Matt (0:49, 1:11, 1:20, 1:40). Good job.

The show was great only that it didn’t meet some of my expectations and one of them is being informed of what kilauea will bring to its neighboring islands
fabulous footage and great educational information.
Would have preferred the backround sounds of ancient Pele chants and Hawaiian music. Also wondering how Kilauea affects global weather….mahalo
awesome!
Thanks so much for your work on this project. Kilauea has always fascinated me and I have visited there several times. I keep in touch with Pele’s activities by frequent visits to the usgs website which is updated daily. Will you be making a dvd available for purchase? I hope so. I’ll be watching the HD television broadcast this coming weekend.
i love your movie so much i will buy it on blue ray ha ha ha
the scenes are just super, keep up the excellent work
