Hawaiian Volcano, a remarkable and well-preserved film, documents the real live eruptions of two volcanoes in Hawaii in 1959-60 with spectacular footage. As the narrator describes the extreme conditions present during the eruptions, including temperatures of 2,600 degrees, the daring of the film makers becomes apparent. Despite the risks, they got close enough to capture riveting footage of composite and shield type eruptions, and the flowing lava that resulted. This is a must see for anyone interested in volcanoes or Hawaii, as the film contains great images of both.
