Mount Jefferson, Oregon simplified hazards map showing potential impact area for ground-based hazards during a volcanic event.

Glow from an active ocean entry on Kīlauea Volcano's Kamokuna lava delta was visible on the evening of September 27, when the 2017 delta was near its maximum size of 8-10 acres. Since then, the edges of the delta began to crumble into the sea. With no lava entering the ocean since November, ocean waves slowly erode the lava delta, further reducing its size.

Thermal map of the 61g lava flow, created on December 12, 2017. The thermal map is limited to the current flow (episode 61g flow), which runs along the center of the map. The blue and green colors correspond to lower surface temperatures, areas of cooled, inactive lava.

Channelized breakouts were active on the pali today, feeding a small ‘A‘ā flow moving through the remains of a small Kīpuka.

An image from a Halema‘uma‘u time-lapse camera taken on December 5 at 4:41 am, just after the collapse. The portion of the rim that fell into the Halema‘uma‘u lava lake triggered intense spattering on the lake margin where the material impacted the lake.

Illustration of the basic process of magma formation, movement to the surface, and eruption through a volcanic vent.

Geologist examines spatter and ash deposits within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park along Kīlauea's southwest rift zone. New understanding of the age of the ash deposits, based on years of careful research, has prompted an important revision of the ages of these surface lava flows.

The dark-colored ‘A‘ā flow advancing toward the South Kona coastal village of Ho‘ōpūloa (foreground) on April 17, 1926, is a reminder of why Island of Hawai‘i residents should be aware of the hazards posed by the volcanoes on which they live. This flow was fed by eruptive vents that opened high on Mauna Loa's Southwest Rift Zone three days earlier.
