基拉韦厄火山

Kilauea continually molds Hawaii’s Big Island. Creating new land, shaping ancient forests and carving tunnels through the earth, the volcano fascinates a dedicated group of scientists and filmmakers who follow its every action. Using innovative new imaging technologies to map the magma chamber, following the lava’s heat along its journey underground, and listening to the constant noises of its movements, geologists map the shifting liquid earth as they work to understand its awesome force.


　　Ejecting fire, molten rock, giant boulders and poisonous gases, the volcano can be a hazard for researchers, homeowners, plants and animals, but it doesn’t just leave destruction in its wake. Twists and turns in the lava’s flow leave some patches of original ecosystems, called kipukas, undisturbed. These oases of life provide a haven to many rare creatures — including the Hawaiian state bird, the Nene — but remain in constant danger from the volcano and from invasive species. Below the surface, inactive lava tubes provide homes for many unique species of darkness-loving creatures called troglobites.


　　At the end of its journey, the lava meets the ocean. Braving an extremely hot sea, filmmakers record the birth of new land and the incredible phenomenon of pillow lava – a bizarre and truly magical sight to behold.


　　Violent and beautiful, destructive and creative, Kilauea: Mountain of Fire explores the incredible power of the volcano and the challenges of life in its shadow.

一千多摄氏度的熔岩,和二十多摄氏度的海水碰撞到一起,这里是闲人免进之地。这是一个火铸石魂的故事,它和地球一样古老。

夏威夷的火山，地面是黑色的冷却熔岩，地下红色的岩浆在熔岩洞里奔腾，高大的水蒸气柱喷向天空，夜晚的景色活像地狱。它毁灭一切，但火山平静时，万物又开始生机勃勃，大自然的魅力可见一斑，毁灭既创造，呵呵。

结尾那段火球在海水里脱落火山灰的片段真尼玛震撼和奇妙! “But Kilauea would never be subdued,not so long as the mountain of fire burns on."
