Hawaii Volcanoes–Entering the Caldera of Fire
October 14th, 2009
Bob Freer asked:
Hawaii volcanoes are known as “shield” volcanoes, gently sloping mountains produced from a lot of very wet, fast-moving lava flows. Each Hawaiian island is made up of at least one primary volcano.
When you move along the island chain from the south, where volcanoes are active, to the northwest part of the chain, the volcanoes become older–and less active. The active volcanoes erupt a type of rock known as basalt. When in a “molten” state, basalt produces the fluid lava that you see running down mountains and valleys.
The Big Island of Hawaii is home to five major volcanoes: Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea, Hualalai and Kohala. Mauna Loa is considered the largest active volcano on earth, even though it has not erupted since 1984. But Kilauea, home of the Hawaii Vocanoes National Park, is the most active volcano in terms of how much lava it erupts each year, and the place most visitors come to see volcanic action.
Hawaii Vocanoes National Park, two hour’s drive from Kona and five hours from Kohala on the Big Island, can be the highlight of any vacation. Open year round, one can explore the many aspects of Kilauea volcano. Much of the best hiking on the Big Island is found within this park. And a visit to the park will give you an up-close view of a volcano.
The Park, open 24 hours a day, is sometimes referred to as the “drive-in” volcano since it can be easily viewed by car. Even if you don’t experience lava flows when you visit, there is much to see. Lava craters, giant chasms, vents spewing steam, lava tubes (or caves) and Hawaiian petroglyphs can all be experienced here. The Visitor’s Center at the Kilauea Caldera is located at 4,000 feet. Here you can find books, videos and other information about the park.
Crater Rim Drive, which circles the volcano, has many interesting viewpoints and jumping off points for short hikes. Also within the park is the Jagger Museum and the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. Be sure to bing your camera, water, food and extra clothes, especially if you are staying in the area after sunset.
One can easily spend a day or two exploring Kilauea, so give yourself enough time to really experience the rare phenomenon of a live volcano.
In addition to Kilauea volcano, two other volcanic mountains on the Big Island, Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea are prominent. They stand more than 13,500 feet high and have frequent snowstorms during the winter. Mauna Kea even has year-round snow fields near its pinnacle. Imagine being able to ski in Hawaii!
If your time on the Big Island is short and you would like to take a look at Kilauea volcano, consider a helicopter tour. Since you can’t really “see” the mountain from anywhere else on the island, a helicopter tour is a good way to view the volcanic activity. Helicopter tour operators can be found in Hilo and the Kohala resort areas.
When planning your Hawaii adventure, be sure include some time at the amazing Kilauea Volcano, for an “other worldly” view of life on our planet.

How the Volcano Vaporizer Can be Used in Aroma Therapy
October 9th, 2009
vapomaster asked:
In this article I want to talk about the use of the Volcano Vaporization system in the field of aroma therapy.
Aroma therapy is the practice of using essential oils for improving psychological and physical health. Essential oils are highly concentrated extracts from leaves, stems, roots, bark, or other parts of various plants. These potent extracts are shown to have anti-bacterial, anti-septic and various other medicinal advantages.
There are tons of ways to use essential oil for personal well-being, such as adding it to bath-water, using it as massage-oil additive, natural bug-repellent or inhaling it. And this is where the Volcano Vaporizer comes into play!
The Volcano Vaporizer is a smoking device designed to consume various plants in a healthy and effective way. With the vaporisation technique hot air passes through the plants, causing the active ingredients to release into the air where they can be inhaled. The biggest advantage to regular combustion is that you avoid inhaling all the toxic combustion by-products that are generated when you burn plant material. These by-products simply don’t come into existence when you vaporize!. Additionally the plant material doesn’t get destroyed in the process, allowing it to be re-used several times until the aroma and active ingredients are completely released.
Now what really makes this device interesting for aroma therapy is that you’re not limited to vaporizing plants only but you can vaporize essential oils too! The Volcano Vaporizer comes with a liquid pad especially for the purpose of vaporizing essential oils. All these factors combined make the Volcano Vaporizer very interesting for people interested in aroma therapy.
If you plan to use the Volcano Vaporizer for aroma therapy though, make sure to use only essential oils that have been certified for aroma therapy and that are 100% pure. Apparently some manufacturers use chemicals in their essential oils which can be potentially dangerous if inhaled. So make sure you use essential oils that are designed for inhalation!

How do I throw myself into a live volcano?

Zeek asked:
I want to find a live Hawaiian volcano and throw myself into it while videotaping the whole thing. I think this may be my purpose in life. My purpose is to feed the abyss and provide wonderful entertainment for all the kiddies and kiddies at heart.

I think it would be a great way to go and should provide some great news for the whole country. Headline: “Guy jumps into Live Volcano”. Great stuff. Should help some budding journalist out there get a job and support his or her family (one more than I have). Of course the police will get it first if I’m not careful.
I’ve made my decision and it will be an awesome decision to be remembered by people for at least three weeks maybe four.
How can I go about doing this? Any other suggestions?
Note: I’m serious. I’m not kidding.
I’m not exactly sure whether or not I want to come out alive. I might just have to martyr myself in the name of awesomeness. I better write my will first just so everyone knows what’s (or who’s) going down.

Visit The Amazing Hawaiian Volcanoes
October 6th, 2009
Jon Kelly asked:
Hawaiian holidays are often seen as a holiday of a lifetime and if you want have the most spectacular views to add to your holiday memories then the volcanoes are a must to visit. Hawaii is a growing group of islands as a result of the volcano action; it is also the youngest inhabited land mass.
Kilauea is the most active and famous in Hawaii’s volcanic history. It has an elevation of four thousand feet about sea level. It last erupted in 1983 and is sacred to the islanders. The people of Hawaii believe that this is the home of Pele, the goddess of fire. They also believe that she is permanently at war with her sister, who is the goddess of the sea. This is part of the islanders’ beliefs, and explains the relationship the Hawaiian culture nurtures between its inhabitants, the sea and the land.
In Hawaii there is a National Park for volcano watching. Anyone can go and stay there. It is a great place for camping and hiking and has unpredictable weather and a moist humid atmosphere, which in turn creates a fertile land and an amazing flourishing environment for many different types of wildlife. The weather at the top of Kilauea can be as much as fifteen degrees cooler than at the bottom of the volcano. The extraordinary climate and environment created by the volcanoes allows for the thriving community of creatures, such as the carnivorous caterpillars and the happy face spiders. An astounding fact is that ninety per cent of the native terrestrial fauna and flora are found only on the Hawaiian Islands! In an effort to maintain and protect this unique ecosystem the Hawaiian authorities have organized for alien plants, animals and insects to be removed from the environment in fear that they may unbalance the islands ecosystem and kill off some of the rarest living organisms in the world.
If you want to see the volcanoes and understand their importance in the formation of the Hawaiian Islands then perhaps you should consider one of the available helicopter tours. These helicopter tours are usually available via your hotel, or if you would prefer you can book before you even leave home, hence ensuring that you are guaranteed your spot and will not miss the experience.
Volcanic fumes can be hazardous and if you have any health concerns relating to heart or lung, it is worth checking if you will be at risk when visiting a volcanic site. It is also not advisable for small children or pregnant women to inhale volcanic fumes. If you are avoiding the fumes you can still visit much of the volcanoes, the fumes are only present in certain areas of the islands, so check first with the tour you have booked.
Volcanic eruptions can happen at any time and it is important to always follow the instructions of your guide. If you are keen to see the lava, there are lava viewing opportunities which can be organized through the Kilauea visitors centre, as these areas change all the time and the safety of each area is monitored by the park it is essential that you follow there guidelines and never enter areas which are currently closed to the public.
