resumption of activity, lava is back in Halema'ma'u crater

 


After 3 days since the lava lake stopped to be active, lava returned to the Halema'ma'u crater at about 18:00 local time yesterday. Emitting lava flows erupting from the vent at the western rim.
The rate of the renewed effusive eruption from the western vent decreased sharply along with a dramatic reduction in tremor and the start of deflationary tilt.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory (HVO) wrote: "The eastern edge of the lake that advanced onto the lowest of the exposed down-dropped caldera floor blocks remains stagnant. This is the fourth and largest such decrease in eruption vigor or pause since the eruption began on September 29 and none of the prior events lasted more than 24 hours before eruptive activity resumed."
