Description
This 40-minute video uses spectacular and unusual footage of erupting volcanoes from Hawaii and around the world to explain the features found in many of our volcanic national parks and monuments, and to show how they form. It presents up-to-date scientific ideas about lava flows: how they move, how they change, and how they create lava tubes. Designed for an audience that desires to understand more about volcanoes than is generally presented in made-for-TV documentaries. Beautifully photographed and entertaining, yet packed with information and concepts; you will never look at a lava flow the same way again. Winner of an Aegis award for video excellence and a finalist at the 2004 New York Festivals.

The DVD version also contains another program entitled "Kilauea: Close Up of an Active Volcano" (with English, Japanese, German and Korean language tracks, 2000 edition, 30 min.). This international award-winning video describes the origins and types of volcanic activity in Hawaii, and goes into detail on the eruptive activity of Kilauea volcano.

Both programs have chapter menus to make it easier for viewers to find sections of interest and for teachers to use in classes. Together they make a great educational package.

5 out of 5 stars Lava Flows and Lava Tubes.......2003-09-15

Lava Flows and Lava Tubes (DVD) provides the viewer with the opportunity to watch actual Hawaiian volcanic eruptions. The resulting features and terminology are all explained in a simple yet informative manner. A very nice comparison is made between the recent Hawaiian flows and prehistoric flows from the western continental United States. The producers obviously have a great love for their work and it shines through in the many beautiful images of eruptions and lava flows. Included on the DVD is another feature on the past eruptions of Kilauea with images that are breath-taking. This production presents an excellent overview of Hawaiian-style eruptions (excellent teaching resource!) and the fruits of many years of studying and filming the eruptions on the Big Island of Hawaii. I highly recommend this DVD.
