New article + new section in the menu
I've just finished editing the newest and probably the longest article on our site. It's about Hawaiian Islands geological history and it completes The Story of Hawaii. We've also added a new section to the main page titled "articles" where all new write-ups gonna land. We hope you enjoy it. Here's a link to the article:
Geological history of the Hawaiian Islands
Surface lava flowing from Kilauea Volcano

Surface lava flow that started erupting from a fissure crack in the slopes of Kilauea continues to flow, advancing closer to the settlement of Kaohe Homesteads and the town of Pahoa. It is estimated that the lava patch is approximately 10 miles (17 kilometers) long and moving 270 yards (250 meters) per day, but it slowed down in recent days. Although not an imminent threat to people living on it's path, the lava flow may eventually reach Highway 130, cutting off access to Pahoa.
If you plan a visit to Big Island anytime soon, don't get to excited- there is no access to the lava flow an the whole area is now a restricted zone. Here's more info and video of the current flow:http://www.bigislandvideonews.com/2014/10/03/video-overflight-video-captures-active-lava-flow-front/
We are up and running!
Astronomical observatories on Mauna Kea volcano's summit
Few months in the making, couple of thousand miles traveled and we're finally are ready to show the results! We are still working on some articles and such, but you can check the first travel journal from our trip to the island of Hawai'i. Detailed articles about most interesting destinations on Big Island, complete with trail descriptions, photographs and other useful info. There is also a lenghty article about Human history of the Hawaiian Islands. In addition, we also prepared two galleries- one from Southern California trip and one from Big Island.
