This video shows activity in the summit lava lake in Halema‘uma‘u Crater. Spattering like this is common in the lake, and this video shows the view from the rim of Halema‘uma‘u (closed to the public due to volcanic hazards). This spattering has recently been visible from the Jaggar Overlook inside Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park (open to the public).

This video clip shows activity in the summit lava lake in Halema'uma'u Crater. Spattering like this is common in the lake. Today, spattering was active along the east margin of the lake, throwina small bits ot spatter to heights of about 15 m (roughly 50 Meet).

This video shows spattering in two locations of Kīlauea's summit lava lake. In the first segment, spattering is active in a small area in the southern portion of the lake. In the second segment, spattering on the east margin of the lake has created an overhanging ledge with dangling lava stalactites.

This video clip shows the northern portion of the lava lake, where episodic bubbling commonly occurs. The northern margin of the lake is in the upper right portion of the photo. Note how the bubbling occurs in the same general area, regardless of the movement of the crustal plates. The video is shown at 20x speed.

Kilauea's summit lava lake in Halema'uma'u Crater has been at a high level over the past several days, with the lake surface just 8 meters (26 feet) below the floor of Halema'uma'u this evening. The high level has provided clear views of spatter from the public overlook at Jaggar Museum.

Volcanic eruptions occur int he State about as frequently as the large San Andreas Fault Zone earthquakes. California's "watch list" volcanoes are dispersed throughout the State and future eruptions are inevitable—the likelihood of renewed volcanism is on the order of one in a few hundred to one in a few thousand annually.

The lava flow southeast of Pu'u 'Ō'ō reached the ocean overnight at about 1:15 am. The narrow lobe of lava spilling over the sea cliff has built a tiny delta at the shore, with a weak ocean entry plume.

The lava flow southeast of Pu'u 'Ō'ō continues to advance downslope, and has crossed roughly half of the coastal plain. Upslope of the flow front there was still some 'a'ā activity, with several small open channels on the pali. The front of the flow was 1.7 km (1.1 miles) from the ocean today.

The lava flow southeast of Pu'u 'Ō'ō continues to advance downslope, and has begun crossing the coastal plain. The leading portion of the flow now consists ot pāhoehoe, shown in this video. Upslope of the flow front there was still some 'a'ā activity, with a few small open channels on the pali.

The lava flow southeast of Pu'u 'Ō'ō continues to advance downslope, and reached the base of the pali yesterday. The leading portion of the flow still consists of narrow channelized 'a'ā streaming down the steep part of the pali.

The lava flow southeast of Pu'u 'Ō'ō continues to advance downslope, and was reaching the base of the pali today. Although the malority of the flow activity is pāhoehoe, the fast-moving flow front IS channe ized 'a'ā. The leading tip of the flow is burning vegetation in a kīpuka.

The lava flow southeast of Pu'u 'Ō'ō continues to advance downslope, and is now progressing down the pali. The flow is following the eastern boundary of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, and the western boundary of the abandoned Royal Gardens subdivision. Although the majority of the flow activity is pāhoehoe, the fast-moving flow front is channelized 'a'ā.
