Geological Survey and is responsible for monitoring volcanoes and earthquakes in Hawaiʻi and American Samoa.(BIVN) – New video recorded by Hawaii Volcanoes National Park shows the collapse of a cone-shaped vent at the Kilauea summit lava-lake, where the ongoing eruption continues. The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory is one of five volcano observatories within the U.S.

Residents and visitors should minimize exposure to these volcanic particles, which can cause skin and eye irritation.
Strong winds may waft lighter particles to greater distances. Īdditional hazards include Pele's hair and other lightweight volcanic glass fragments from the lava fountains that will fall downwind of the fissure vents and dust the ground within a few hundred meters (yards) of the vent (s). As SO 2 is continuously released from the summit during the eruption, it will react in the atmosphere to create the visible haze known as vog (volcanic smog) downwind of Kīlauea. Vog information can be found at. High levels of volcanic gas-primarily water vapor (H 2O), carbon dioxide (CO 2), and sulfur dioxide (SO 2)-are the primary hazard of concern, as this hazard can have far-reaching effects down-wind. Hazard Analysis: The eruption at Kīlauea’s summit is occurring within a closed area of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Measurements from continuous gas monitoring stations in the middle East Rift Zone-the site of 1983–2018 eruptive activity-remain below detection limits for SO 2. Rift Zone Observations: No unusual activity has been noted along the East Rift Zone or Southwest Rift Zone steady rates of ground deformation and seismicity continue along both. Volcanic gas emissions in the eruption area are elevated a sulfur dioxide (SO 2) emission rate of approximately 8,900 tonnes per day was measured yesterday, June 10, 2023. Summit seismic activity is dominated by eruptive tremor (a signal associated with fluid movement).
Summit Observations: Summit tilt has remained deflationary over the past 24 hours. A live-stream video of the crater is available at. All previously active lava features in the eastern portion of Halemaʻumaʻu now appear to be stagnant. This feature is the "western lava lake" from prior eruptions that has been reactivated along with a smaller circular pool just southeast of the lake. Lava fountain heights have decreased since the eruption onset, but remain up to about 9 meters (30 feet) high. Active lava and vents cover much of the west half of Halemaʻumaʻu crater in a broad horseshoe around a central uplifted area. An active lava lake is centered within the uplifted area and is fed by a vent in its northeast corner.
Halemaʻumaʻu Lava Lake Observations: Multiple minor fountains remain active on the southwestern Halema‘uma‘u crater floor and the vent on the southwest wall of the caldera continues to feed lava onto the westernmost part of the crater floor. No unusual activity has been noted along Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone or Southwest Rift Zone. Eruptive activity is confined to Halemaʻumaʻu crater within Kīlauea's summit caldera.
