Among the 100 best vacations to enrich your life

The 100 best vacations to enrich your life book
National Geographic ranked the Hawaiian EDventure “monitor active volcanoes” program in “the 100 best vacations to enrich your life”
(Grout, Pam. The 100 Best Vacations to Enrich your Life. Washinghton, DC: National Geographic, 2009.)In the program “you’ll study with scientists from the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, and the Center for the Study of Active Volcanoes, exploring lava tubes, trekking across historic lava flows, and learning basic field methods in volcano monitoring. You’ll collect seismic, geodetic, and geochemical data and learn how to interpret it. But volcanoes aren’t the only thing you can study through Hawaiian EDventures, which custom designs each new adventure”.
“A typical day can consist of any number of activities, depending on what you’re interested in learning”, says Judith Fox-Goldstein, director of the program, which has won several travel and business awards.”You can learn how to weave lauhala baskets and string lei with Kupuna (elders), study the stars at the Mauna Kea Observatory, or plant taro with farmers in Waipio Valley”.
