A rae Uh iS 2 v qeVEGae Hawaiian legend hasit, the pres- ence of a white dog meansa volcano’s aboutto blow. Pele is the goddess of fire on Hawaii’s Big Island. According to legend, her white dog warns of impending eruptions. In 1959, scientists at an observatory paid scant attention to the white dog that suddenly appeared. Shortly after it disappeared, however, Kilauea Iki Crater erupted, pro- ducing some of Hawaii’s most spectacular lava fountains of the 20th century.
