Volcanic
. Activity Is
Described
By LINDY WASHBURN
VOLCANOES NATIONAL
PARK. Hawaii (Ap) - To
passengers in can strung out by
the thousands along the road that
rtms Kilauea caldera, it was a
reddish glow on the belly of a
hovering cloud
To onlooker* elbowing up to a
guard rail olfUftfe the Hawaiian
Volcano Observatory, it was an
ocean wave etched red against
black, ebbing and flowing, sur-
ging and subltlihg above a crack
- in the earth
A mile distant and 400 feet
below, it was a furious whipping
of heat-winds from a bottomless
furnace, a hissing and cracking, a
scorching inhalation of sulfur lac
ed with the odor of burning plants
From geysers ol yellow-hot
lava spitting and popping in the
night sky and from glowing red
grottos there emanated a humb!
: inf reminder: u> such sound and
fury and heat these islands were
created
I hiked to the eruption sitp with
two scientists from the ob-
servatory iate ana recent night
about 11 hours after Kilauea
volcano began its first eruption In
nearly three years
Barry Stokes, I geologic field
assistant, was taking samples of
the gas that belched from
countless fumafries Fred Klein
a seismologist was sightseeing
after finishing ftf$ work in the lab
We drove to th^parkmg lot near
HaJemaumau, thf 300-foot crater
in the caldera floor whose
Hawaiian name means "pit of
fire ” Until early this century it
was a basin of lavk, a sink whose
plumbing piped Ipto the molten it
quid of the earth's interior
This night, lava had spilled over
the rim as the erupting fissure ex
tended -and finally reached the
crater A 30-faot fire fountain
fizzled from ttesgie, while below,
the pool of darkening magma
froze into stone
We hiked northeast along a Na-
tional Park Service trail toward
the mold active part of the
.fissure
Where lava blocked the trail,
we skirted the oozing mass, then
scampered over its outstretched
finger to the far side of the fissure
for a front tqw scat at the fire
fountains
Gas masks te screen the fumes
hiking boots to Modi the heat and
ease walking over sharp edged
rocks and a hard hit in case the
wind changed were required
parts of the uniform
The caldera floor is a patch
work of black and brown, .giant
puddles of lavattjgt froze in their
ripples after eruptions dating
back several centuries" It is a bar
ren field uamarked by trees or
bushes but ctSfcifiatched with
cracks and vents formed when
the lava cooled and contracted
As we walked, steam and gas
from the vents billowed into the
night air., engulfing, us in white
clouds A half moon hung like a
bowl in the sky
At times it was impossible to
see my own haadt or feet, let
atone the flashlight or figure of
our guide Jtried oot to dwell on
the possibilities of stepping into a
crack .
Moisture started to condense in
side my gas mask, and it was dif
ficult to talk 1 finally took off my
glasses by now clouded, with
steam, and felt ray eyes sting *ith
add formed by the ‘fusion of gas
andrain.
Over the. years; wind aad rain
have eroded the edge* of the
cracks on the older flows
depositing minute quantities of
aoB. Nurtured by mist and trap
ped rain water, hardy weeds have
grown ui that soil tiam the
pungent scent filled the air as
they sizzled beneath spreading
lava.- . . f--’1
Ram hitting the lilva hissed"
eertly . Whip-like reports, sound-
ing like an ice-bound pood in
winter, punctuated the quiet as
la va cooled
Around, the fountains, a half
dozen scientists and their friends
had spread blankets and coolers
aod- settled,-in to watch the
fireworks.
The Assure ran almost exactly
parallel to that of a 1954 erupted.
From within the yellow-bot
crack, sparks and globs of lava
spat up to SO met into the night
sky . showenng down as frothy
pumice or stlU-gtowiag ewten.
