Abstract This film documents the 1955 eruption of Kilauea from the first opening of fissures in the ground, through the appearance of lava, the formation of cone and flows, the display of lava fountains, and the pillows of rising steam as one lava river reached the sea and set the ocean boiling. It also discusses the difference between Pahoehoe and A'a lava flows.
