I went to the big island last weekend and spent a day at Volcano National Park. It is an awesome place, although I didn't get to see any lava flows. Plenty of hot air though! There was a lot of seismic activity and there was so much sulfur dioxide being emitted from the Kilauea volcano that the park service closed the park's HQ office for the first time ever. I also saw a pod of humpback whales go by while standing on a lava-flow cliff overlooking the Pacific. I wish that I could say that these kinds of experiences somehow contribute to my research, but I have to confess that they don't directly relate! I do think however, that it is an important part of what a sabbatical is all about.
