    Wow, a Maui GeologyHub EP! Fantastic -- can actually see Molokini from my patio 😀 The summit view from the caldera rim of Haleakala at sunrise is an amazing sight, esp if the cloud layer's formed just right... and after dark, the staggering clarity of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, is an abiding memory from years as a bicycle tour guide from the Nat'l Park in the '90s (don't think such tours are allowed now). Seeing Comet Hyakutake stretch nearly horizon-to-horizon just before 5am from the crater rim parking lot, is definitely burned in for life. Thanks for another HI State topic! 👍🌺👍

      I doubted, so I looked it up. You CAN see the Magellanic Clouds just kiss the horizon at 20 deg north, and Hawaii is around 19! It's only for a very brief few minutes until they set again, though. I'm around 28 deg north, so just missed them, darn it (like you could even see them in my city, can barely see the Moon!).

    You can see Molokini from the resorts on the south side of the island. The diving inside the crater is beautiful, and is accessible to beginning divers. I seem to remember that the crater is 30 feet deep. Advanced divers can drive the wall on the back side of the crescent, which is clear most days down to 120' or more, though it's never recommended to dive below 120' without special training. You can get a trip out to Molokini from dive companies in the harbor at Maakena, north of Kiheh.

      @@PhilSallaway Oh, I know Phil. I've seen it and it is fascinating, which can be dangerous when you're that deep. As for the crater, I was inside only twice and there were new divers with the party, so the divemaster kept us shallow. Still, we saw a turtle the first time out -- talk about lucky. The last time was in 1989, when there were only 2 small resorts in Wailea -- an Intercontinental and a Stouffers. I'll bet the crater is much busier these days with all the big, new places down there.

      Recently, a few months ago, there was a great get together with our neighbors here up on Tantalus, a very nice dinner and great conversations but another neighbor was talking about the fact that they have more than five bathrooms but that they complained about the Sulfur smells while using their shower and the yellow stains that forms on the shower walls. I mentioned that before also.

    2:20 Just to point out (astronomer here!), "gibbous" means the Moon is more than half-illuminated, while "waxing" and "waning" refer to whether it's currently becoming more or less illuminated. (Which would work if the part above water was the _shadowed_ portion of the Moon, but is the opposite of how you described it as "its surface above sea level".) Great video though, just wanted to clear that up! :)

    • @Astrofrank

    I'm surprised at how active Haleakala is. I expected it to be considered more active than Mauna Kea, but more than Hualalai with an eruption only around 500 years old is quite impressive. Quite strange that its so active for being so far away from the hotspot while closer volcanoes are either less active (Hualalai), extremely quiescent (Mauna Kea) and fully extinct (Kohala).

    Dove Molokini's backside, it's not a typical site most would associate with SCUBA with many corals and colorful fish, at least not outside the crater. It's still breathtaking in it's own way. Seeing the back wall descending into a black abyss is incredible. It's also the first dive I encountered black tip reef sharks. They were between 6 and 8 feet long and were swimming about 6 feet above us following our bubbles.

  • @Arthion

    I didn't know Haleakala was more active than Hualalai, I figured it was between it and Mauna Kea in eruption frequency or less than both. I'm suprised it's that active despite the fact that it should be further away from the magma supply than the remaining active volcanoes on Big Island.

    Just west of Molokini is the island of Kaho'olawe, which, unlike Molokini, was not created by Haleakala volcanics, but is, instead, a separate shield volcano of its own. It is believed that after creating Oahu, the Hawaiian hotspot split into two paths--designated the Loa path and the Kea path. The Loa path took the southerly/western route and created West Molokai, Lanai, Kaho'olawe, Mahukona, Hualalai, Mauna Loa, and Loihi volcanos. The Kea path took the northerly/eastern route and created the East Molokai, West Maui, Haleakala, Kohala, Mauna Kea, and Kilauea volcanos.

      I've done some digging on the USGS website which updates earthquakes in real-time, and I can't find any quakes in Alabama today, just one in western TX. Strange.

      @@Sptn051 Yeah I’ve just now submitted an incident report to the website. Some people thought it may have been sonic booms but if it were then it wouldn’t have been felt all over the county. I’ve heard that people as far away as Milton Florida felt it as well but I’m not sure how true that is.

      @@hazerod833 Oh that's great, they'll be happy to investigate your report and hopefully provide some answers. If the quake was large enough they very well could have felt it in FL. I'm an amateur geologist and from what I understand the vast majority of the bedrock from the Mississippi River, east, is granite. Unlike the sandstone out West, the granite out here carries the sound waves much further. There was an event, 8.9 magnitude, that happened near Paducah, KY back during the 1810's and it rung church bells in their steeples as far away as Montreal. Seismology is wild. :)

      @@Sptn051 Very cool! I was not aware of that before so thank you. The only seismic report I can find is on a somewhat sketchy website but at the moment it says that it was an estimated 3.8 magnitude with a currently unknown but estimated depth of 20km, centered 4.1 miles east of Foley, Alabama. Which is where I was when it took place. There are no fault lines in that location that I’m aware of so I’m almost positive that the location it said is a little incorrect. But I’m also a young guy with no education in geology so 🤷🏻‍♂️

      You might look into the Eastern Tennessee Seismic zone. It definitely cuts down into northern Alabama, but I didn't look up your exactly location in comparison. Seismic zones like that typically have a parent structure or two, and then a halo of small sister faults parallel to the primary suture...maybe movement on one of those led to your felt event!

    No I'm probably wrong, but which one of the Hawaiian Islands (not the big island) erupted in 1700 I always thought that was Maui. I guess I was incorrect if you say 1540ish. Or am I thinking of another island.

      Puhahonu is a seamount in the Hawaiian chain that some research suggests was once the world's largest shield volcano, nearly twice as big as Mauna Loa. Its eroded remnants are called the Gardner Pinnacles. Info here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardner_Pinnacles
