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 (HVO) were not able to perform an overflight of the June 27th flow this afternoon due to poor weather conditions. An overflight by Civil Defense this morning showed that breakouts remain active around the crack system, and the front of these breakouts has advanced north over the past day, along the western boundary of the existing June 27th flow. The breakouts this morning had reached a ground crack (the same ground crack which lava partially filled, and flowed out of, around September 6). The front of the breakouts was roughly 300 meters (0.2 miles) north of the front mapped by HVO geologists yesterday afternoon.
An overflight is scheduled for Monday.
Daily updates about Kilauea'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 daily update is posted in the morning, and a status report is posted later in the day as new information becomes available and if warranted. Updates and status reports are posted at http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/activity/kilaueastatus.php.
