ONE OF Hawaii’s volcanoes put on a spectacular display during the visit of two Rappahannock county residents late last month.
Retired Navy Captain and Mrs. Howard Holschuh of Castleton, and his mother, Mrs. Marie Shaw of McLean, were staying at the Kilauea Military Recreation Camp on the big island of Hawaii, when the volcano, Mauna Ulu, began erupting less than ten miles from their cottage.
A camp bus took sightseers as far as possible, but those wanting a closer look had to walk in the last mile or so to a high vantage point less than a quarter mile from the fissure.
“When we first saw it,” Holschuh said “there was just an occasional spurt of lava. But as we watched, it grew into a steady fountain of molten rock, superheated to over 2,000 degrees, shooting 100 to 200 feet into the air.”
The fountaining continued for three days. Lava overflowed the crater rim, and cascaded in shimmering red and gold rivers down the side of the mountain, about 4,000 feet above sea level.
