Thank you for replying. You got a great name. Surprised it wasn't taken. I giggle about you thinking it was your name, This was way before computers and you made me think, he would be in his late 50's. Gee time flys and lava rolls. What a great interest volcanos. i believe there is over 100 active right now. I live in the pacific north west- many volcano's in my state I seen one Mt St.Helen may 18th,wow Have fun be safe!
hey volcanochaser, back in the 96 I met a volcano chaser while I was hang gliding in Ohio USA.He 5'9 dark hair about 47 now? I lost touch with him about 10 years ago Traveled the world for volcanos. When I seen those ppl and got a feeling he was there for some reason,, its a long shot but it can happen*.
@Cloudy011 Sorry, it's not me. Not as tall, not as young, and never been to Ohio. I know of two others who use that screen name in other websites. One was a female with a yahoo address, the other a male about how you described that I saw on a Honolulu tourist website. There are probably others. I chose this screen name on the spur of the moment when I signed up because my first choice was taken.
I was on Hawaii in September and saw the county viewing location set up at Kalapana, near what the USGS is labeling the Waikupanaha ocean entry. Where is this in relation to that?
This video from 2002 was recorded on the Chain of Craters Road in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The location was about five miles to the west of the part of Highway 130 which is shown burning on the video response recorded on October 24, 2009 near the Waikupanaha entry. It is the same road with different names: one is a state road, the other federal. About six miles of road has now been covered in lava.
It is an active flow but the liquid is flowing under the crust that the hikers are walking on. This type of pahoehoe flow that creeps along at a slow rate develops an incredibly strong crust several inches thick in a matter of minutes. You can see in the video that the leading edge is hardly moving. Also, because the lava is spread out over a large area, there is only a thin layer of liquid lava underneath.
The hikers shown are experienced lava hikers. Inexperienced hikers would not be able to overcome the extreme blast furnace heat that is still present over the cooling lava. Typically, a hiker would be able to see how wide the flow is to get to the other cool side before deciding to venture out onto the hot surface.
cool... its just my geography teacher always speaks of this bloke who walked across a lava flow and stepped in the wrong place and ended up waist deep in lava... its scared me ever since :D
@volcanochaser not able to overcome the extreme blast furnace heat? That would seem to be an issue for both experienced and inexperienced 'lava hikers'.. it still seems that it is inadvisable to walk on them..but to each his own, I never would..I would take photos of it though ;)
depends on temp on lava, but for most lavas it would cool the lava considerably (depending on how much liquid N you had) and the liquid nitrogen would evaporate instantly
Must have been a whole case. The bullets were in clips of five. I don't know when that camp was abandoned. The only big animals for hunting in the area are feral pigs. The area now belongs to the national park.
I found an old camp that had been abandoned a long time ago. It had a bunch of stuff, including a large stash of ammo. I was able to find it because the lava had cleared away the area a few days earlier. It looks like some of the bullets had fired because of the heat, and in others the powder had burned through the casing. You can see some of the pictures by going to the smugmug link in the description and looking up the August 20 pics in the 2003 gallery.
I was there in 2000, and we had to hike forever to see the lava....needless to say the wind nearly knocked us over...Im going back in sept...and now i will get a real treat...a summit eruption as well!!
Mmmmmmmm, breathe deep. That witches brew of aerated petroleum byproducts, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and God knows what is enough to curl your nose hairs at the very least. Gack.
We were there in Oct. 2002 and Pele had sent lava right over the end of Chain of Craters Road. A year previous, we had to hike 2.5 miles from the end of the road to see surface flows. 2002 was a good year to visit. :)
2002 and 2003 were the golden years of lava flows as far as my experience is concerned. Lava stopped flowing into the ocean in June of 2007 and is now confined in a remote area next to Pu'u O'o, about a six mile hike one way.

what would happen if you pourd liquid nitrogen on lava?

is there anything colder then liquid nitrogen?
shorty962 2 years ago
well, for liquids there's liquid hydrogen that's colder. but solid oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen are all much colder as well.
