Kilauea, on Hawaii’s Big Island, is the world’s most active volcano. Its latest eruption began in 1983 and it hasn’t stopped since. Since that time it has created 544 acres of new land and has consumed 200 homes. But as we watch nature’s own fireworks display and witness the devastation wrought by flowing lava, we’ve also been able to observe a process that’s central to life on these islands. The most spectacular moment of creation is when lava pours into the ocean creating new land, and it is here that filmmaker Paul Atkins finds himself getting a shot few have ever filmed — the cataclysmic meeting of 2,000-degree lava and 75-degree ocean water — a sight to behold. Buy the DVD. This film premiered March 29, 2008.

Awesome, before students need to learn the facts, being amazed with fresh inspiring video like this is great!
Thank you so much!! I have just discovered this wonderful artist and his works. They’re so serene and soothing, I use them on my desktop at work. It’s hard to find information written in English about him, though..anyone have any good links? Thanks again!!
Woah, So cool, its so unnatural where they meet kilauea under water
That was cool, but you know what would be waay cooler? We should drop a big arse bomb in the center and film it.
Could be nuclear or just real powerful to damage it like an asteroid or the giant size it is. I just wanna see and know what it would do to it. I’d like to see a giant lava crater or grand canyon volcano!!
P.S. that guy needs to grow up and stop eavesdropping on the volcano. Its NOT A WOMAN/GODDESS!!! Your research is probably useless too.
We moved to Hawaii in 1983 and Kilauea started erupting the next day. From our new home way up kaiwiki road we had a perfect unobstructed view of the top of the volcano. What a treat to see Madam Pele’s dramatic show! We were able to watch the eruption for the whole 10 years we lived there, and it hasn’t stopped ’til this day. We were especially blessed to enjoy the beautiful Black Sands Beach before it was over run by lava.
Well the whole globe is getting into something. Islands grow, I think it’s all natural for the mother earth. These are beautiful pictures and videos that PBS make. Nice job…
How is it that taxpayers like myself make comments… and they are “filtered” out? If the Government wasn’t stealing money to fund this channel, it would NOT exist! As “Air America” failed, to prove a point!
It is important to consider durability when buying men’s rings because if the ring is going to be a wedding band then you would want the band to last you for a long time especially if the man is involved in high physical activity. Nevertheless, both steel and ceramic are hypoallergenic materials.
hardwoods that were not as versatile nor as eco-friendly. Before the year 2000, much of these
Liked it. Nice stuff.
Yeah, seriously, I tell myself I’m going to most likely be an overprotective father, but NOTHING this bad! Reminds me of my fiancee’s father/makes me glad she lived with her uncle. XD
Lovely, generous idea! I would most likely add these fabrics to either a kid quilt forChildren’s Hospital in Little Rock (an ongoing effort at my co-op extension club) ora prayer quilt. I’ve knitted lots of shawls but just recently heard about prayer quiltsalong the same line, as gifts for the ill or grieving. Right up my alley! There are alwaysplenty of recipients.
Something that makes big political differences that a citizen has no control, nor knowledge of..

How do you know that the earth formed 4 1/2 billion years ago? Were you there? Did you see it? This propaganda that you promote is a deadly one. You are a brood of vipers & are poisoning our youth with your deceit. Hear this…in the end, we will all acknowledge the true age of the earth, and every knee will bow…in honor to the Lord, or shattered for betrayal.

I am going on a cruise vacation and we are going to be doing lots of underwater snorkeling. I want a camera that takes really high quality underwater pictures, but i don’t want to get a photography camera. Something like a point and shooe that I can use for an every day camera as well. All you camera experts please help me out in choosing the right one!
Thank you<3

Loved it! Showed my husband it also when he got home. The video was easy to skip forward to and has no glitchy problems at all like youtube often does- it was great! Very pleased :) with this site, and the KQED channels!
