1984 Mauna Loa Eruption — Today's #TBT is a picturesque shot from the 1984 eruption of Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii. Here we can see several Hawaiian Volcano Observatory geologists boarding a helicopter as large lava fountains erupt in the background. Helicopters provided access to remote areas of the eruption and were essential for safety. Photo by R.B. Moore, 1984.
