cov26P7090951 ...and more...

cov27P7090957 ...and another...

cov27P7090958 ...with a zoomed in shot.

cov28P7090961 Does anyone smell burning rubber?

cov29P7090962 Watch it as it oozes.

cov30P7090965 I took one with Grant Kaye taking his own photo of a very small skylight in the flow.

cov30P7090966 A close-up of the little skylight. If it looks blurry, it's due to the amount of heat emitting from the hole.

cov31P7090967 A close-up of a cool break out.

cov31P7090968 A zoom out of the previous photo.

cov32P7090969 This was the same little break out area that Dorsey Wanless was taking the temperature of with a hand-held radiometer (about 970 degrees C or almost 1800 degrees F).

cov33P7090970 I couldn't help but focus on the skylight again.

cov33P7090972 Then back to the break outs.

cov33P7090974 I took this shot of Nicole Lautze standing behind the skylight.

cov34P7090978 This time I had someone else take my photo while standing behind it.

cov35P7090987 This is the last shot I took before night set in.

cov35P7091013 After nightfall I took another shot of the lava flows that flowed over the Pali to the coast.

cov36P7091017 I took another flow shot with the sky and clouds in the background

cov36P7091024 Jana Judday dipped her hammer into the active flow to get a sample.

cov36P7091025 Sally Kuhn dips Jana's hammer into the active flow to get a sample as Jana looks on.

cov36P7091028 Sally with the sample.

cov36P7091031 Simona Scollo from Italy takes a shot at it.

cov36P7091034 Jessica Bluth got a sample too.

cov37P7091035 The very last shot of the evening was one taken by Jana Judday of me after I dipped her hammer into the active flow. It was very hot standing near the flow to get the sample.

cov38P7101037MaunaLoa July 10th was the second day of the effusive section. We started out at the Kilauea Military Camp cafeteria where I got a nice photo of Mauna Loa with no clouds at the time.

cov39AllThreeVolcanoesPan We then started out driving for the end of one main flow channel from the Mauna Ulu eruption, but before we got there we had to get a panorama shot of all three volcanoes (Mauna Loa, Kilauea, and Mauna Kea from left to right).

cov40P7101040MaunaKea I then zoomed in on the observatories that sit on top of Mauna Kea.

cov41P7101053 We finally got to the stop to hike up the lava channel of Mauna Ulu.

cov42P7101054 Before setting out though, Andy Harris gave us all a lecture for what to look out for while hiking up the channel.

cov43P7101083 When we got to the summit of Mauna Ulu we got a decently clear shot of the active vent of the 1983-Present eruption - Pu'u O'o.

cov44P7111163 July 11th began the last two days of the workshop that entailed learning about the Hawaiian culture behind eruptions. Chris Gregg (seen here giving us our opening lecture from the Hilo Harbor) was the one that led this section of the workshop. We all learned about the hardships endured by the native Hawaiians from a couple of villages that were inundated by the lava flows.

cov45P7111210 One of the main areas we stopped was the former village of Kalapana. It was overtaken by the lava in 1990. The bay that used to exist is now filled in with lava that has now turned into a black sand beach. Here is a nice photo of Mike Nicholis walking down the beach while we examined the area.

cov46P7151427 July 14-18, 2003 was the week for the International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior's Cities on Volcanoes 3 Conference in Hilo, Hawai'i. It was a great conference that featured several well-known volcanologists like Robert Decker (seen in this photo describing his exploits during one of Mauna Loa's eruptions - he has written several volcano books with his wife Barbara), Robert Tilling, Chris Newhall, Don Swanson, and Don Peterson (now deceased).
