Probably the best way to connect

Lava flows....heh. Last real eruption was 20+ years ago, and it was on only one small area. That was when the Black Sands Beach got swollowed up and disappeared from the universe.

The thought of surfing from my laptop while kicking back on the beach does sound quite nice.

There was a major eruption in 1986. That's 16 years ago.

I was there last year. If you call a trickle into the ocean erupting, more power to you.

16 years is a long time to be worried about lava flows interrupting internet access.

Even if they are small eruptions, they are numerous and constant. Who wants to lay fiber in a landscape that is constantly changing? And having small rivers of lava could be worse than a huge lava flow for fiber links. At least in the latter case, you know that you have to start from scratch instead of finding a cut in a less than hospitable and tough to dig environment.

Well in the last 16 years Kilauea has taken out
an entire subdivision (Royal Gardens), destroyed
hundreds of homes,destroyed a beach,national park
vistor center,a Heiau, a small town named Kalapana.
If thats not enough activity, I'm not sure what is.

Nice observations...do you have any links to news stories on these events?

Unfournately alot of this activity occured in the late
1980s and early 1990s thus there is no articles in
regard to this that I'm aware of online. I'm sure if
you do a search in Google, for example, Kalapana
or Royal Gardens, Hawaii or do a search on Kaimu the
black sand beach that was destroyed near Kalapana
you may find more information in regards to this.

Nothing large has happend for many years. That is the point.
