We have just made our older (but still spectacular) film "Eruption at the Sea" available on YouTube. This one is all about the interaction between lava and the ocean, including the discovery of "limu o Pele". https://youtu.be/rTNVuSR7pEY

Now on YouTube: a special video on the destruction of Kalapana in 1990. It goes through what happened in detail (as it was happening). Come give it a viewing - narrated by the fabulous Jackie Johnson (Pualani Debus). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8mNj0dgOfZQ&t=31s
