    Hiking

    Mauna Iki ("Little Mountain") erupted from 1919 to 1920, its acitivity preceded by the rapid filling and emptying of lava in Halema‘uma‘u Crater. The two geologists on Hawai'i at the time, Thomas Jaggar (for whom the Jaggar Museum atop Kīlauea is named) and Ruy Finch, collected detailed data on the eruption that has been invaluable to modern scientists.
