Violent Hawaii
Video: Full Episode

The Hawaiian chain of islands, made up of six main islands plus two smaller ones, stretches for more than 1,500 miles through the heart of the Pacific Ocean. It is a place of idyllic beauty. But it is also a land of volcanic fury, raging mountaintop blizzards, dangerous rockslides, monster waves, and even tsunamis.

I love this episode about Hawaii. I feel that it does explain that mother nature has a darker side. Thank you very much for putting up videos online so that those, including me, can watch online. Usually, we miss the television shows because the time is inconvenient of we are too busy. Thanks a lot! I appreciate it!

My first time visiting the Islands back in 1982 was fantastic. The natural beauty and splendor of Hawaii struck a deep cord inside me. Hiking and camping away from the tourist areas I came to appreciate it even more. Your wonderful piece, ‘Violent Hawaii’ helped me to relive those experiences as well as give me a greater understanding of the geologic and natural forces that help shape this paradise. This understanding left me feeling like I had been transported back in prehistoric time with a front row seat to natures awesome power and persistence.
