| Description |
English: Here's our #TBT of a massive lava fountain spewing high into the air above an area of papaya trees. This particular shot was taken in January 1960 in Kapoho, Hawaii. A bit of historical story-telling from the USGS HVO website refers to Jan 27, 1960 and the town of Kapaho:
"Late on that fateful day, very fluid lava was pouring from vents B, L, and K and feeding the massive `a`a flows between Pu`u Kuki`i and Kapoho. This new source of lava doomed the town. At 2330 the flow was nearing the town. In the next 30 minutes, the rapidly moving`a`a flow moved southwestward through the streets, overwhelmed building after building and leaving only memories behind. By midnight January 27, most of Kapoho had been destroyed. The coups de grâce was administered on January 30, when lava oozed from the south base of the cinder-pumice cone, reached the west end of Kapoho, and overwhelmed two more buildings."
