Description
This highly informative museum in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park will help you understand the fascinating, sometimes bizarre geology that makes the park so unique. You can see the some of the many different forms of lava, from the fine, needle-like lava called "Pele's Hair" to the massive orbs of lava known as "Volcanic Bombs." The museum's exhibits also show how volcanoes created the Hawaiian islands, and an array of equipment used by volcanologists past and present to study and monitor volcanoes is also on display. The museum was the dream of one of the founders of modern volcanology, Dr. Thomas Augustus Jagger of MIT.
