The eruption at Kīlauea’s summit is occurring within a closed area of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. HVO is in constant communication with Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park. HVO will continue to monitor this activity closely and report any significant changes in future notices. Kīlauea’s volcano alert level and aviation color code will remain at WARNING/RED as hazards associated with the eruption onset are evaluated overnight. Residents of Pāhala, 20 miles (30 km) downwind of Kīlaueaʻs summit) reported a very light dusting of gritty fine ash and Peleʻs hair this morning. Summit earthquake activity greatly diminished following the eruption onset and was replaced by continuous eruptive tremor (a signal associated with fluid movement). Volcanic gas emissions in the eruption area are elevated a sulfur dioxide (SO 2) emission rate of approximately 65,000 tonnes per day was measured between approximately 8 and 9 a.m. Summit tilt switched from inflation to deflation around 5 a.m. A live-stream video of the crater is available at. A ring of elevated 1-2 meter-high (3-6 feet-high) lava surrounds the perimeter of the crater floor (like a bathtub ring), encircling continued lava flow activity across the crater floor. Initial lava flows inundated the crater floor (an area of approximately 1.5 square km or 370 acres) and added about 10 meters (32 feet) depth of new lava. Fountain heights have decreased since the eruption onset and, as of approximately 3 p.m., were about 4-9 meters (13-30 feet) high. Multiple minor fountains are active on Halema‘uma‘u crater floor one fissure remains active on the southwest wall of the caldera. There are no indications of activity migrating out of the summit region. All activity is confined to Kīlauea summit region, within Hawai‘i Volcanoes National Park.
