Breach in Kealakekua Bay!

This doesn't happen a lot, now we have it on film. Don sent in this shot of a whale breaching in K Bay on a March 1st trip. The Humpbacks are now on their back to Alaska, we had an awesome whale season. Thanks again to Don! Aloha.

Expedition Trip 3/26/2010

Busy day at Pu'u Honua O Honaunau with views of palm trees, clear waters and other Seaquest boats in the bay. The Expedition trip meandered south and checked out a Black sand beach at the base of a spectacular and fast (it traveled up to 6 miles an hour) lava flow that came down the pali (cliff) in 1950. This flow from Mauna Loa spewed more than 500,000,000 cubic yards of lava in a matter of weeks. That equals several years' production from currently erupting Kilauea. The flow doesn't stop at the edge of the water either. Areas like this are an amazing place to see life in action. A fresh lava flow means a brand new coral reef is forming and we get to see it as happens. Bit by bit. Year by year. Instant scientists, we are.
