Meet Ron Edmonds, Grace and Paul Atkins and Mick Kalber, four eyewitnesses to history. From documenting the world’s most active volcano, covering some of the most memorable news stories in Hawaiʻi and on the mainland to capturing video footage of our ever-changing environment, these four have stories to share.

Mick Kalber moved to Hawai‘i Island on a whim after a successful but draining career in television. There, he would confront the most creative and destructive of muses: the Kilauea volcano. A self-described “volcanographer,” Kalber has spent the past 30 years capturing one of the longest volcanic eruptions in recent history through the lens of a video camera, while hovering in a helicopter above the 2,000˚F lava flows.
