GLOBAL VOLCANISM: Tracking Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Activity - A Single Deflation-Inflation Cycle Event Occurred This Week, Shifting The Lava Lake Levels!

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: yellow;">November 08, 2013 - HAWAII </span></b>- 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.<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DkKFJyLrrTI/Unzn0pbOQkI/AAAAAAABNec/-Lhrs591E8o/s1600/kilauea01.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-DkKFJyLrrTI/Unzn0pbOQkI/AAAAAAABNec/-Lhrs591E8o/s1600/kilauea01.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Active pāhoehoe breakouts are scattered across portions of the Kahaualeʻa 2 flow.

The Peace Day flow, which started on September 21, 2011, is no longer active. <br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mAD5lcKSEVs/Unzn9_SaoxI/AAAAAAABNek/Mv4ycPJf8II/s1600/kilauea02.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-mAD5lcKSEVs/Unzn9_SaoxI/AAAAAAABNek/Mv4ycPJf8II/s1600/kilauea02.jpg" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Small-scale map showing Kīlauea’s east rift zone flow field as of November 7, 2013.
