Meridian goes to Hawai’i… the Big Island.

By Events

While visiting the island to perform service for a recent project, Meridian’s Brian Boehmer, stumbled upon a United States Geological Survey (USGS) marker while viewing the eruption at the overlook to the Kilauea Volcano on the Island of Hawai’i.  At present, Kilauea volcano is still having one of the most long-lived eruptions known on earth, which started in 1983. Even now, lava continues to erupt from a single vent in the western wall of Halemaʻumaʻu crater. All lava activity is confined within Halemaʻumaʻu crater in Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park – known as an Orange Watch magma alert. We are glad Brian made it back to the office unscathed or scorched.
