Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity
Kilauea (Hawai'i): Over the weekend, the lava flow in the coastal flat had advanced significantly, bringing the closest lava flow front to only 370 m distance from the coast as of Monday morning (Hawaiian time). Chances to see lava entering the sea in the coming days or weeks are increasing with each day. At the summit caldera, the level of Halema'uma'u's active lava lake has again dropped to 26 meters below the crater floor, hiding it from direct view from the volcano observatory. The so-called 61G lava flow continued its rapid advance and reached the ocean early yesterday morning at 01:12 local time. It crossed the emergency coastal road and created a new narrow ocean entry where new land is now being formed to again enlarge the surface of Big Island.
