Scientists of the USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory conducted field observations of the June 27th lava flow on Thursday, November 6, 2014. The leading edge of the flow has not advanced since last Thursday, October 30, but minor breakouts were observed upslope of the flow tip. These include small breakouts 500-600 meters (550-660 yards) upslope of the stalled flow front, in the area of the cemetery. Another breakout was active on the north margin of the flow roughly 300 meters (330 yards) upslope from Cemetery Rd./Apa`a St. Breakouts have also been active farther upslope, several kilometers upslope of Cemetery Rd./Apa`a St., but these were not visited on foot during today's visit.
There was no net summit deformation over the past day.
Daily updates about KÄ«lauea'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.
A helicopter overflight of the entire flow field is scheduled for Friday afternoon. 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.
