| 2:06 PM @ *358 |
| 2:06 PM @ *358 Looking back down |
| 2:06 PM @ *358 Yup, Mauna Loa's still there! |
| 2:06 PM @ *358 So is Pu'u Huluhulu... |
| 2:07 PM @ *362 |
| 2:08 PM Looking back down... |
| 2:09 PM @ *368 What on earth could possibly make a formation like this? |
| 2:10 PM Looking back down the hill... |
| 2:11 PM @ *375 |
| 2:11 PM Looking down the hill again... |
| 2:13 PM @ *378 Mauna Ulu crater |
| 2:14 PM @ *379 Looking down in. This was as close as I dared get... |
| 2:14 PM Pu'u Huluhulu with Mauna Kea in the distance, the flank of Mauna Loa on the left. |
| 2:17 PM @ *381 The hump is Kanenuihamo lava shield with Makaopuhi Crater on the right. Peeking over the left shoulder of Kannuihamo is Pu'u O'o, barely visible |
| 2:17 PM @ *381 Mauna Loa's still there... Halema'uma'u is still pumping... |
| 2:18 PM @ *384 Another peek at the Mauna Ulu crater |
| 2:18 PM I think I'll follow this down... |
| 2:18 PM There's some instrumentation over there... Think I'll go over... |
| 2:19 PM But there's this little ravine in the way... |
| 2:21 PM @ *389 I'll head down instead. That flat spot just this side of Pu'u Huluhulu is the perched lava pond that the brochure talks about |
| 2:22 PM It hasn't been long enough for water erosion to have any effect so any "shaping" you see was done with the original hot lava... |
| 2:23 PM @ *393 |
| 2:24 PM @ *394 This one leads right down to the perched lava pond... |
| 2:25 PM The perched lava pond... With Pu'u Huluhulu beyond it... |
| 1:34 PM @ "STM" We're looking across 'Alo'i lava shield up the hill at Mauna Ulu. |
| 1:35 PM @ *323 A collapsed lava tube... |
| 1:37 PM @ *327 Looking across 'Alo'i lava shield at Pu'u Huluhulu. Mauna Ulu is on the right. |
| 1:40 PM @ *340 This is bad. Rotten lava. It's thin and crunchy. Very dangerous. |
| 1:40 PM @ *340 And then there are those blobs... |
| 1:50 Pm @ *346 Blob. Don't ask me... |
| 2:01 PM @ *349 Looking downhill... |
| 2:01 PM @ *349 Looking uphill... |
| 2:02 PM |
| 2:03 PM @ *355 |
| 2:04 PM |
| 2:05 PM |
| I can't! |
