Volcanos

Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity

Kilauea (Hawai'i): (4 Aug) This map (USGS) shows the June 27th flow at Puʻu ʻŌʻō in Kilauea’s East Rift Zone. The area of the flow as mapped on July 18 is shown in pink, while widening of the flow as of July 29 is shown in red.

These flows continue to progress slowly in a NE direction roughly 5km (3mi)from Puʻu ʻŌʻō, mostly on top of older flow fronts. There was no significant change in ground tilt at Puʻu ʻŌʻō over the past few days, and two small lava ponds remained active on the south side of Puʻu ʻŌʻō's crater.
