Big Island Shelf Collapse
Posted on December 1st, 2005
"Big Island, Hawaii - A 44-acre chunk of the Big Island's Puna coast collapsed into the sea with high-energy pyrotechnics this week, exposing a 60-foot cliff face with a spurting, 6-foot-thick red geyser of molten rock... It was the largest such collapse in the 22-year history of the volcano's current eruption... registered on seismographs on the Big Island, but did not cause a tsunami." - Honolulu Advertiser CNN Article
I hiked out to see the lava a year or two back, I wonder if we trekked over this part!
