November 08, 2013 - HAWAII - A lava lake within the Halema‘uma‘u Overlook vent produced nighttime glow that was visible via HVO’s Webcam during the past week. A single deflation-inflation cycle (DI event) occurred during the week (as of Thursday, November 7), and the lava lake level fell, then correspondingly rose again.
On Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone, a breakout from the Peace Day tube above the pali was active early in the week, but no activity was observed on Thursday, November 7. The Peace Day flow, which started on September 21, 2011, is no longer active.
The Kahauale‘a 2 flow, fed from a spatter cone on the northeast edge of the Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō crater, is now the only active flow. The Kahauale`a 2 flow continues to advance slowly across old flows and into the forest. Its tip was 6.4 km (4.0 miles) northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō when mapped on November 7.
No earthquakes were reported felt on the Island of Hawai‘i during the past week.
Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. - Hawaii 24/7.
Active pāhoehoe breakouts are scattered across portions of the Kahaualeʻa 2 flow. This photo shows a nice example of ropy pāhoehoe active near the flow margin. Photo courtesy of USGS/HVO |
