USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) Eruption Update Eruption Summary Hazards History Panorama Images Current Activity Hazards History Current Eqs Map Felt EQs Destructive EQs Seismicity Hazards, Zoning Instrumentation Hualalai Haleakala Lo`ihi Ocean Entry Lava Zones Types History of HVO Volunteer program Location Kilauea: an explosive volcano in Hawai`i A well-known dictum in geology is "the present is the key to the past." Often, however, the past itself is a key: to the future. The past is a better such key, in fact, than is the present. It is improbable that everything that can happen is happening today. Something brand new may start, of course, but something that has happened in the past is more likely to occur again, regardless of what's going on today. It is in this light that a new feature story presents the outlines of Kilauea's explosive past. Kilauea is not exploding now, but it has done so in a small way in the recent past and in a big way during the past hundreds to thousands of years. If we are to know the whole gamut of what Kilauea can do, it behooves us to examine its past as carefully as possible. Explosions can be hazardous to both people on the ground and traveling in jet airliners. The more we know about Kilauea's explosions, the better chance we have of mitigating their risk to us. So turn the page and perhaps be surprised at the richness of Kilauea's explosive past. Archive of previous feature stories Photograph by C.
