Roundup of Global Volcanic Activity
Kilauea (Hawai'i): Following several days of increased pressure at Kilauea's summit, lava activity is picking up on the June 27th flow with new flows continuing to move to the north, on a pathway leading slightly away from the town of Pāhoa for now.
Lava activity is present wherever the pressure has caused "leaking" from the lava tube system, not only close to the stalled front but also farther "upstream". However, the fact that there is plenty of lava returning to the flow front indicates that this pathway remains open, and the flow will most likely gain momentum and pick up speed over the next several days.
