Quelques précisions sur l'#éruption du #Kīlauea. Il s’agit du troisième épisode éruptif de l’année et, comme les deux précédents, l’activité est confinée dans le Halema‘uma‘u, le lac de lave de la caldeira sommitale du #volcan. Une activité typique de petites fontaines de lave (quelques dizaines de mètres de hauteur au début, en baisse à 10–15 m aujourd’hui) alignées sur 1,4 km de long. Ci-dessous une vue générale et une vue rapprochée de ces fontaines (photos J. Schmith, USGS, domaine public).

#Kilauea eruption livestream. I bet you don't have anything like this 45 minutes from your house: https://www.youtube.com/

i appreciate that wikipedia identifies pele's divine parents, divine siblings, and crater home. 😍

the last time i went up to volcanoes national park, i was looking at the "plugged" halema'uma'u crater & thought "it really is like she put a lid on her bubbling brew and went away on a trip." so i guess she's returned from her trip (to iceland or some other place with active eruptions) & has put the lava back on boil 🌋 🔥

#Kilauea update from #Hawaii #Volcano Observatory: "HVO is lowering Kīlauea’s volcano alert level from WARNING to WATCH because the style of eruption and fissure location have stabilized, the initial extremely high effusion rates have declined, and no infrastructure is threatened." Detailed update at https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/volcano-updates

she's back! and by "she" i mean the one and only pelehonuamea!

There's a reason lava always looks fake in movies...

It looks fake in real life.

#Kilauea #eruption: "Kīlauea volcano is erupting. At approximately 3:15 a.m./p.m. HST on September 10, 2023, the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory observed eruptive activity in Kīlauea summit webcam images and from field reports indicating that an eruption has commenced within Halemaʻumaʻu crater and on the down dropped block to the east in Kīlauea’s summit caldera, within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park." https://www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/volcano-updates

And Pele awakens! #Kilauea just started erupting. Thus far it's completely within the crater, as is often the case, and quite safe. #Hawaii #volcano

at volcanoes national park on the island of hawai'i, you can be standing near the summit of one volcano (kilauea), and if the clouds clear at just the right moment, you'll see in the distance an even *taller & larger* volcano: mauna loa.

these volcanoes! it's an incredibly powerful thing to behold, especially when you realize that they rose up from under the ocean... it demands respect. respect: granted!

British geologist HH Read once said the best geologist is the one who has “seen the most rocks.” So perhaps the best possible understanding of #Kilauea hinges on the most observations. #HVO reflects on two centuries of written records in #VolcanoWatch.

#kilauea This fiery image shows an aerial view of the Kīlauea volcano in Hawaii, which began erupting on 7 June 2023 and created this spectacle of glowing lava. The activity is so far confined to the Halemaʻumaʻu crater at the volcano’s summit. The volcano is studded with cameras and instruments that measure ground deformation and seismic activity. In 2018, its violent eruption was studied closely by scientists.

Nighttime footage shows the ongoing eruption of #Kilauea, the second largest #volcano in #Hawaii, within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The #eruption, which started on June 7 following a three-month pause, continues to capture attention and awe.

#Kilauea eruption paused at 4pm Monday. The eruption has been confined to a lava lake at the summit. There is no way to know yet if the latest eruption has ended, until there are months of inactivity.
