100th Anniversary of the Mauna Iki Eruption on Kīlauea Volcano’s Southwest Rift Zone
From mid-December 1919, after significant draining and re-filling of the Halema‘uma‘u lava lake, lava erupted on the caldera floor, sending lava down the SW rift zone. Join geologist Scott Rowland from the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa as he explains the significance of this 100-year-old eruption.
Part of Hawai‘i Volcanoes’ ongoing After Dark in the Park series,  sponsored by the Friends of Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park.
