Broadband seismometer site on eastern Taʻū, American Samoa, before and after it was cleared of vegetation.

Broadband seismometer site on eastern Taʻū, American Samoa, before (inset) and after a work party cleared rapidly growing vegetation which had covered the solar panels along with the boulders to the right of the main photo. Due to lack of power from the solar panels being unable to charge during the day, the station was offline for many months. To help with image comparison, the same tree is circled in both photos, and the box with the question mark inside on the inset is the approximate location of the solar panels. The prominent tree to the left in the inset was cut down; the stump is visible in the main photo.
