America's Most Dangerous Volcano Is Erupting Again

Kilauea is erupting — yet again. It’s just another reminder of the power of one of the most active volcanos on Earth. And to many people this place of destruction, in the path of lava, is home.

"I think wherever you live, you have to coexist with your environment"

Such a beautiful way of thinking. Most of us have lost touch with that part of our lives

“Worlds most dangerous volcano” is an inaccurate way to describe Kīlauea. “World’s most active volcano “ would be more accurate. During the Leilani estates eruption 3 years ago nobody was killed, even as the volcano destroyed over 800 homes.

As an Aussie that’s spent over 30 years working side by side with pacific island people I just want to say that I am in awe of both their culture and their attitude towards life. Ka pai, ahoa!

Most dangerous? How many people have died? It's literally a tourist attraction. Maybe dangerous for insurance companies

[Who-vtoh]

"So why do people live near an actively erupting volcano?"... "Why would you build a house in an area that's prone to wildfires?" All valid questions.

How those plants are growing out of that volcanic “rock” is beautiful…

As a Hawaiian and Hawaii resident this is so a well put together documentary. Well done and the power of Madam Pele is absolutely gorgeous

[ciscotellez]

As the lady talks about her stuff being ruined the interviewer decides to say "it's like a real life floor is lava" 🥴

I lived on the Big Island for about a decade, this makes me so very very homesick. My daughter was walking barefoot out to the flowing lava before she was 2, she’s a badass!

The whole island chain of Hawaii is built on volcanos deposit into lava time after time. Every tree, every plant currently growing in Hawaii is doing so on top of lava. Without volcanoes, there would nothing but water where Hawaii is today. Volcanoes are the creators, they give the gift of land and life above the water. We need to be thankful them.

Why don't they use more geothermal energy sources like Iceland? Iceland is almost 100% fossil free!

[treelife]

Beautiful documentary about a destructive natural force, that on the flip side, is actually a nurturing and creative force.

I’m living 5 minutes away from the crater, been here three years and I am loving this video and the awareness to the issues of the community that it is raising! Thank you for covering this important information! Loved seeing Auntie Em’s shining face and I cried seeing the Hula on the side of the crater where I myself give offerings. Mahalo Tūtū Pele for showing your red glow again. We are so incredibly blessed.

The ending "and if you can't handle it, then I guess you have to go" 😆

[Gainsforlife]

My dad lost his home near kalapana from back on the day 🙏 and this recent one put a lot of my friends out but we all respect madam Pele and know what she does is for the better of the islands 🌋 🙏 Aunty Naeole is a well respected Kupuna by the Puna peoples. We rep hard just make sure to show respect to the land and it’s inhabitants (forest, creatures, other humans) and you’ll be alright out there. Yessah blessah Aloha

What most people don’t realize is that Kilauea has been “erupting” daily for over 30 years. Only thing is that the lava most often flows away from populated areas. Only when the lava shifts direction or a new lava vent opens up near homes does it make the news. However again, the Volcano, Kilauea has been erupting daily for decades.
