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The Peace Day flow, which started on September 21, 2011, is no longer active.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. The Peace Day flow<br />(light orange), which began September 21, 2011, is no longer active. All east rift zone eruptive activity is<br />now focused into the Kahaualeʻa 2 flow, which is advancing slowly toward the northeast from<br />Puʻu ʻŌʻō. The Kahaualeʻa 2 flow as of October 21 is shown in pink, while advancement of the<br />flow as of November 7 is shown in red. Older lava flows are labeled with the years in which<br />they were active: episodes 1–48b flows (1983–1986) are shown in gray; episodes 48c–49 <br />flows (1986–1992) are pale yellow; episodes 50–55 flows (1992–2007) are tan; <br />and episodes 58–60 flows (2007–2011) are pale orange. The active lava<br />tube is shown with a yellow line.</td></tr></tbody></table><br />No earthquakes were reported felt on the Island of Hawai‘i during the past week. <br /><br />Activity updates are written by scientists at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Hawaiian Volcano Observatory. - <a href="http://www.hawaii247.com/2013/11/08/volcano-watch-kilauea-activity-update-for-november-7-2013/"><span style="color: orange;"><b>Hawaii 24/7</b></span></a>.<br /><br /><br /><br /></div>
