The postcard depicts the volcanic eruption on the Island of Hawaii in Kapoho on February 16, 1960, which resulted in the complete destruction of the town. The photograph was taken by Allison and Associates, and the postcard was made by Dexter Press, Inc. Hawaii is home to some of the most active volcanoes in the world, with Kilauea being one of the most famous. The volcanic activity in Hawaii is a result of the Pacific Plate moving over a hotspot in the Earth's mantle, causing magma to rise to the surface and create new land. The eruptions in Hawaii can be both destructive and beautiful, shaping the landscape of the islands over time. Kapoho was a small town located on the eastern side of the Island of Hawaii, known for its hot springs and tide pools. The eruption in 1960 not only destroyed the town but also reshaped the coastline, creating new land where there was once ocean. The resilience of the people of Kapoho and their ability to rebuild in the face of such devastation is a testament to the strength and spirit of the Hawaiian people. The postcard also features PONOI CRAFT by WW Distributors, Ltd., a company based in Honolulu, Hawaii. This highlights the local craftsmanship and artistry that can be found in Hawaii, with many artisans creating unique and beautiful pieces inspired by the natural beauty of the islands. Overall, the postcard serves as a reminder of the power of nature and the importance of respecting and understanding the forces that shape our world. It also showcases the beauty and resilience of the Hawaiian people in the face of adversity.
