reviewed Chasing Lava: A Geologist's Adventures at the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory on January 23, 2017 Chasing Lava
This was where I learned that the Hawai'ian islands have no snakes, and that bringing anything alive in from elsewhere is strictly controlled. It is a fun story about how a volcanologist got real-life field experience right after completing his degree and getting married. I just wish his wife could have become a veterinarian, and not felt that the time and culture she lived in could stop her. At least she had her cat!
