Kilauea Eruption


Yes, there is a new fissure that is fountaining lava on the volcano. It is over near the Pu'u O'o vent. It is very remote and the only people who have seen it arrived by helecopter. The glow from it is pretty thrilling. Saturday there was big booming as the closer crater, Halema'uma'u, did some collapsing. The lava in that crater has dropped from 250 meters down to 900 meters down. See it all at this website: http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hvo/cams/ Be sure to look at the webcams and the "images" tab!
