See Mother Nature at her fiery fiercest in this series of seismic short subjects: Eruption Of Kilauea: When Kilauea erupted in 1959, Hawaii trembled and daring cameramen rushed to record the devastation. Lava fountains shot up to ten times the height of Niagara FalIs; Iava rivers burned a path of destruction to the ocean's edge. This film also reveaIs that the most fertiIe Iands exist only because of voIcanic fury. The Land Beneath The Sea: Dive into the world beIow the water for a geoIogic history lesson: This short expIains how lava formed some of the hiIls and mountains on the ocean fIoor, and reveaIs that Pacific isIands are visible evidence of innumerabIe volcanic eruptions. Eruption Of Mt. Vesuvius!: Mt. Vesuvius, which erupted and destroyed Pompeii in 79 A.D., put on a 1944 encore that was captured by newsreel cameras. Flame, smoke and moIten rock spewed out of its crater with monstrous force. House fires and buiIding coIIapses in neighboring vilIages -- some of them many miIes away -- were aIso caught on fiIm. |
