VOLCANO WATCH: Kīlauea's East Rift Zone Eruptions Of The 1960's bigislandvideonews.com/2024/10/26/vol…

It's #fieldphotofriday. Are we on another planet? Photos were taken near Pu‘u‘ō‘ō on #Kilauea's East Rift Zone. #HVO geologists were there this week to dry out R3cam's enclosure & add new desiccant. Moss & ferns are taking root in the red ashy layer. usgs.gov/volcanoes/kila…

CRITTER OF THE WEEK (Saturday, October 26, 2024) #SnowflakeMorays (puhi kāpā) often forage in the open by day and are easy to spot. A small jack or goatfish may follow (as seen as the featured photo). #CritteroftheWeek #HawaiiSeaGrant #HBEP
