The Snapshots in Time Collection
Album Page: Six Snapshots of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park (Kilauea, Mauna Loa, Sulphur Banks, Volcano House), WWII-Era Personal Travel Photographs
This album page, part of a larger WWII-era personal photo album, documents a sightseeing visit to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Typed captions identify the Kilauea Crater, Sulphur Banks, Mauna Loa Crater, and views from the historic Volcano House in Hilo. Hawaii served as a major transit point for U.S. servicemen traveling to and from Pacific and Asiatic deployments, and many took the opportunity to photograph the islands' famous volcanic landscape during layovers.
