The Eruption of Kilauea 1959-1960 Chap 1

Rare government film with science that has stood the test of time. Beautifully restored historic film documenting the eruption of Kilauea beginning in 1959. Note that there are 4 chapters altogether; each chapter has unique historic footage, one has Kilaea's highest lava fountains ever filmed...over 1900ft! The funky score (music) won a national award..discribed as "Fantasia like.." A fella in Scotland found this after looking almost 40 years!

Funny you mention Fantasia...Reviews at the time of the film's release compared the score to that of the movie, Fantasia....and the score went on to win a national award!

Thanks for uploading this. At a recent trip to Volcanoes National Park, I discovered that Kilauea was erupting on my birthday. :)

Volcanoes can be so beautiful! What a pity that they're so destructive.
