Gary Sprinkle latest Pacific Adventures special features some unique stories found only on the Big island.

Gary and photographer Sonny Ahuna document the work of Jim Kauahihaua, a geophysicist monitoring activity surrounding Kilauea Volcano.

Some of the video of the volcano was provided by Tropical Visions Video Inc.. You can contact the company by e-mail for more information about their video of fountaining lava.

Besides learning one of the island's largest communities sits on an active volcano that will erupt again, Gary discovers many Hawaiian chants handed down actually document the volcano's history (Hula Halau Na Lei O Kaholoku makes an appearance).

Pacific Adventures will also take you from Waipio Valley on the island's north shore, where the Toko family farms taro to the south shore, where opelu fishermen still do things the traditional way.

Pacific Adventures also features Sonny Keakealani, who has spent most of his life as a Big Island paniolo.
