Kilauea is the youngest and southeastern most volcano on the Big Island of Hawaii. Topographically Kilauea appears as only a bulge on the southeastern flank of Mauna Loa, and so for many years Kilauea was thought to be a mere satellite of its giant neighbor, not a separate volcano. However, research over the past few decades shows clearly that Kilauea has its own magma-plumbing system, extending to the surface from more than 60 km deep in the earth.

Hawaiian Meaning
The Hawaiian name "Kilauea" means "spewing" or "much spreading," apparently in reference to the lava flows that it erupts. Eruptions have been Continuous since January 3, 1983. It is estimated that the first eruption of Kilauea
has between 300,000 and 600,000 years ago.

    I see people get angry when you tell them what is really happening, I don't know if it was your thumbs, perhaps not you. From the year 1996 to till now the activity on it (the Sun) has increased like a building of a boiling pot on a stove.

  • Seriously I don't ...

    Seriously I don't have any real convictions here because there is nothing we can do. The day I typed the message I was just in a poor mood and I am sorry, honestly I love this existence, the people, and the animals all around me. I just believe that nothing can be done. I am surprised the planet survived this long, it is a mind boggling thing at this time to even be alive, and especially to ever be comfortable.
