OVERVIEW |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The Thomas A.
Jaggar Museum is a museum on volcanology
with displays of equipment used by
scientists in the past to study the volcano,
working seismographs, and an exhibit of
clothing and gear from scientists who got a
bit too close to lava. There is also a gift
shop with books, videos, cds, maps, and
other special items for sale.
The Museum has large windows which affords a
sheltered view of the caldera and main
crater, Halema`uma`u, when weather is
inclement. The overlook outside the building
offers an incredible view of the volcano
with interpretive displays about Kilauea,
one of the world's most active volcanoes.
The US Geological Survey's Hawaiian Volcano
Observatory is adjoining the Jaggar Museum.
It is not open to the public. |
