WOW AWESOME! Goes to show that our eruptive episode today in minimal compared to then. What a great experience to watch. So much has changed unfortunately not for the better. Aloha Mahalo Nui Loa Kander.

Thanks! Skip to 7:00 for the Big Island.
There was a huge explosion at Kilauea in May 1924, I wonder if this was filmed before that?
If I remember correctly, that explosion marked the end of the lava lake shown - which had been there for over a century.

My great-grandparents arrived in Hilo in 1920. It is always nice to see film and photos showing how it looked to them. It is as close as I will ever get. Too much has changed since then. Thanks for the treat.

Really nice! Kilauea had a good sized lava pool back in the 1920's.
Here's another, if more recent, historical documentary just added to Netflix Streaming:

Thanks much for the link. A train? Rail Road ave?
Would be nice to be able to take that ride.
Amazing Sugarcane operation.

That train is from the Big Island too; the Oahu railroad didn't have anything like that! Pretty sure the bridge at 2:20 is the old Halakau span. The shots of sugarcane fields kind of looked like Hamakua as well.

We think it is paradise now, it was really paradise back then. It was also the roaring 20's. Too late for Oahu but Hawaii island can be preserved and restored to be more like old Hawaii.
