Hawaii

In the beginning of August Chris went on a Geology field trip with 22 other geologists, including faculty, to Hawaii to study volcanoes. They spent five days on the Big Island and two days on Oahu. They saw the lava enter the sea on foot, by helicopter, and by boat. The closest they came was about 30 yards from the lava pouring in the ocean, it was on the boat ride. It was a great time. Chris saw giant manta rays, tropical fish and the highlight, lava.
