Kilauea, in Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park, is one of the most active volcanoes
in the world. Over the years the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory has amassed an
incredible collection of photos, and the best are on this CD! See hot lava fountaining,
flowing, cascading, dripping and oozing. View lava tubes, lava lakes, lava pouring
over cliffs, lava entering the sea, playgrounds ruined, buildings in flames,
and geologists running for their lives. The Pu`u `O`o eruption, which began
in 1983 and is still going on, is the subject of most photos, but the ultra-spectacular
1959 Kilauea Iki and 1969-70 Mauna Ulu eruptions, as well as the 1984 Mauna
Loa eruption and others, are also represented. There are 288 images in the latest
version of the screensaver.
This CD also includes 36 high resolution
wallpaper images drawn from the screensaver and an illustrated mini-encyclopedia
of volcano terms, historical and geological information on the various eruptions,
safety advice for lava watchers, and other educational material in web browser
format. All educational material was prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The educational material brings the total number of photos on the CD to over
400. (Most of the educational material is available online, but
because of download time with slow connections, viewing from the CD can be faster
and easier.)
