A zoomed-in view of the fissure 3 lava channel in Mauna Loa's Northeast Rift Zone, as observed by Hawaiian Volcano Observatory field crews on the morning of December 5, 2022. Channel velocities here, closer to the vent where the channels are narrow, were measured at 26 - 36 feet per second (8.2 - 11 meters per second) or about 18 miles per hour. But farther downslope, the wide lava flow front is advancing slowly at about an average rate of 20 feet per hour (6 meters per hour) as measured over th

Geologists captured this time-lapse video of the perched lava channel issuing from fissure 8 on Kīlauea's lower East Rift Zone. Rafts of accreted lava move down stream and look like boats moving down a river. These are termed "lava balls" or "lava boats" (or lava "bergs" according to recent social media posts) and form when portions of the fissure 8 cone or levees break away and are rafted down stream. As they move along in the channel, additional lava can cool to their surface to form accretion

In Kīlauea Volcano’s lower East Rift Zone, lava at fissure 8 pulses above a 170-feet tall cinder cone built of lava spatter. From fissure 8, lava flows freely over small cascades (rapids) into a well-established channel, about 8 miles in length, which leads to the ocean entry at Kapoho. Near the vent, lava is traveling about 15 miles per hour. About mid-way to the ocean, lava is traveling about 6 miles per hour. Closer to the ocean entry, lava travels about 2-3 miles per hour. #usgs #hvo #hawaii

Lava from fissure 8 emerged from the 180-foot-high spatter cone traveling 20 miles per hour. The flow pulsed and rolled over a small set of cascades (rapids) into a perched channel 50 feet above the ground surface, partially veiled by a shimmering heat haze. Lava transited lower Puna to the Kapoho coastline where the flow front broadened to nearly 2 miles. Laze plumes marked multiple small ocean entries. When night fell, the incandescence (glow) of lava was easy to see against the darkened surro
