I came here thinking that would be the topic of this video. It’s always a shame when there’s a MORE applicable subject for a clickbait title.

As a Californian, I found the idea of plants that regrow through destruction very interesting. As many know, our giant sequoias and redwoods are specifically adapted to grow after wildfires, and have some pretty similar adaptations!

Curious when your crew was out here filming. If they popped in to the local hardware store, we may have met. Thank you for this video. It shows the intersection of science with the beliefs of the native Hawaiians( and some of us they came to call this home) with respect

Potentially forever as long as a culture has a way or either recording or passing on an event. There is a theory that the Noah flood story is based on actual events which occurred (in a less drastic fashion) in ancient Mesopotamia.

Perhaps not forever, but certainly for a very, very long time. In addition to above comment, it's notable how the biblical flood is not the only flood story - quite the opposite, in fact, as almost _every_ culture has or had a flood story, and most theories about their origins point towards rising sea levels at the end of the ice age, although perhaps megatsunamis and glacial lakes breaking would also have influenced those stories. (regarding megatsunamis, note that most events that qualify as a megatsunami are the result of landslides associated with glacial retreat, which means they were probably significantly more common at the end of the ice age than they are nowadays) I also know an anecdote that some native tribes in the western United States still have tales that can be traced back to the Mount Mazama (Crater Lake) eruption which destroyed the entire mountain and created the lake it's famous for. This took place some 8000 years ago or something, and these tales still indicate the correct mountain as where it happened (although it's told, probably not unsurprisingly, as gods fighting or something like that). What's for sure is that stories, and in particular those that are written in a specific form (e.g. singing or poetry) that makes it difficult to just change up a word or two because it'd mess up that form, survive much longer than direct knowledge, and also much longer than most people would expect.

It's very far from confirmed, but many different cultures have beliefs that the Pleiades are 7 sister. Which is notable since only 6 stars are visible. There are 7 major stars in the cluster though, but one hasn't been visible without a telescope for nearly 100,000 years. A more concrete example is aboriginal australian stories of monstrous creatures that have descriptions that match those of animals that went extinct about 30,000 years ago.

Fair warning, to my knowledge volcanology is one of those fields that has more people competing for jobs than there are jobs (or rather, funding) available. Biochemistry, on the other hand, is one of those 'we don't talk about job chances after finishing your education, we talk about job guarantee within x months' fields. In particular if you go into the organic chemistry/chemical technology side.

No need to switch! Just take some geology/geochemistry classes too! There are biochemists who study extremophiles in volcanic environments. Best of both worlds!

Loved the science and beauty of the scenery

There is value in the chants and stories even without their containing historical volcano related information. Tremendous value. The value of a culture is beyond measure. Just walk through the British Museum or the British Library and think about how the value inside these buildings is cannot possibly be measured. The same is true of the chants and stories of which she spoke.

Iceland has a current volcano going right now.

I live in Honolulu and even though Kilauea is 200 miles away on another island, I was grateful when the long-lasting eruption ended in 2018 because the air is clearer. When the wind is coming from a certain direction, the rest of the Hawaiian Islands can also be covered by vog (as it's called) that's created by volcanic gasses.

A wonderful video. Thank you.

This reminds me of the summer that never came.

I don't know about that, but the genus _Metrosideros_ (of which ōhiʻa lehua _Metrosideros polymorpha_ is one species) is widespread in the South Pacific. The range extends to the Philippines, Papua, New Zealand and even Chile. New Caledonia has the most endemic species. They all have a similar look about them, and tend to have a similar ecological role as a tough "pioneer" plant.

I imagine most locations with a lot of volcanism will have plants with comparable adaptations. Speaking of biology though, the biology of Hawaii is absolutely _fascinating,_ as the islands have a mix of Asian, Australian, North American and South American plants and animals. It's one of the most unique biomes on the entire planet.

I mean, there's a lot of survival knowledge "hidden" in indigenous lore, myths, and legends. Some of it is common sense, such as "don't go to where a volcano is actively erupting." But other times, it's a lot less obvious. There's a reason indigenous populations were able to survive and thrive in areas that are ostensibly very dangerous and full of risks. It's because they figured out how to manage the risks. And frankly, it's something that modern ppl should pay more attention to. We (those of us in modern "western" societies) tend to have the attitude that we can innovate all problems away and that's just... not true. We can certainly mitigate a lot of risks and get earlier warnings than we would have had without our technology (see tornadoes for a prime example), but we're still at the mercy of the planet and our climates.

Who knew, just because you've got superior technology doesn't mean you're better at everything. :P I feel like people have gotten a lot better at realizing that though. Starting all the way some 200+ years ago when people started more widely questioning slavery (which is the most extreme example of this attitude). And nowadays, I feel like it has entered, if not the common mindset, then at least the common _scientific_ mindset that folktales and the like tend to know what they're talking about, and do not exist for no reason. Even if you might need to put in a bit of effort to figure out what they're telling you. Which is probably one of the last steps that needs to be taken in resolving that mindset. (note that resolving the mindset is different from resolving all problems, e.g. just because you recognize that all people are equal doesn't mean that native Americans in the USA are suddenly not ridiculously poor compared to the rest of the country)

Yes, it's the world's most active volcano. Kilauea is basically in a continuous state of either "is erupting" or "could start erupting very soon." The volcanic systems on the Reykjanes Peninsula have become more active as of late, but still only to the point of getting about one eruptive period every year or so.

If you watched the video, at all, it clearly states that ancient Hawaiians were well aware of their surroundings and knew what was going on. The mythology is not just some fake story; it accurately depicts the scientific nature of volcanoes and how islands are formed. The stories were passed down orally as there was no written language at the time, so it had to be easy to understand and interpret. This is why characters were made like Pele, who represented the volcano. And when she got angry, she turned into a fiery wrath (eruption). It’s quite easy to follow.
