KILAUEA VOLCANO (VNUM #332010)
19°25'16" N 155°17'13" W, Summit Elevation 4091 ft (1247 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: WARNING
Current Aviation Color Code: ORANGE
Scientists of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory conducted ground observations of the June 27th lava flow throughout the day on Sunday, November 2, 2014. The leading edge of the flow has not advanced since Thursday, but active breakouts of lava were present within 10 meters (11 yards) of the stalled front and for several hundred meters (yards) upslope.
Overall, the distal portion of the June 27th lava flow showed weak to moderate activity, with scattered sluggish breakouts emanating from various places on the inflated flow. The lobe near the Pāhoa transfer station did not advance today, and the lobe in the pasture below the Pāhoa cemetery extended the flow margins slightly.
The summit experienced subtle inflation throughout Sunday, probably related to the waning stages of the most recent DI event.
Daily updates about Kīlauea's ongoing eruptions, recent images and videos of summit and East Rift Zone volcanic activity, and data about recent earthquakes are posted on the HVO Web site at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov.
HVO scientists will continue to monitor the flow from the ground on Monday, and an overflight is planned. A daily update will be posted in the morning, and status reports will be issued as new information becomes available. Updates are posted at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/activity/kilaueastatus.php.
