Surface activity continued in several small areas above the Kalapana access road, burning more vegetation in the forested kipuka. The trailhead to the county viewing area sits at the end of what remains of the access road, shown here at the top-middle portion of the photograph.

Lava Breakout
Breakouts continued near the County lava viewing trail. This breakout, which is burning a downed hala tree, was about 300 m west of the trailhead.

Halema'uma'u vent
Several collapses early this morning exposed more of the lava pond deep within the Halema`uma`u vent cavity. For the last several days, glowing and spattering holes (top image) have been active on the floor of the vent cavity, at a depth of about 200 m below the vent rim.

The "spider" (a self-contained portable instrument package) was engineered and deployed during the 2004-2008 eruption of Mount St. Helens to detect and triangulate shallow earthquakes, monitor local ground deformation and uplift, detect lightning that might indicate an ash eruption and low frequency sound from explosions.

HVO geologists noted persistent spattering in the northeast corner of the lava lake within the Overlook vent during their night-time observations. The view of the lake surface was fairly good because of fume in the area of the Overlook was "thin" at the time.

HVO field crews collect temperature data on ground cracks in the Leilani Estates
HVO field crews collect temperature data on ground cracks in the Leilani Estates subdivision near the fissure complex. On this day, temperatures ranged from from 100 to 145 degrees C (200 to 300 degrees F), consistent with past readings.
