On March
19th 2008 there was an explosion in the Halemaumau
crater of Kilauea volcano. This was
the first eruption of Kilauea since 1982, and it
scattered debris over 74 acres of the park. A major
sulfur dioxide gas vent is still pouring tons of
fumes and ash into the sky in a plume over a mile
high that has been constant for four months now,
and is causing vog, volcanic fog, problems for many
parts of the Big Island, depending on wind direction.
In addition there is increased lava flow from
a new vent in the side of the volcano, which increased
its flow dramatically in June. The lava flows overland
and through lava tunnels to exit into the ocean with
spectacular steam plumes and night glows. Hawaii
Volcanoes National Park has long been known for its
dramatic landscape and its ease of viewing for visitors.
Including over 505 miles of land it is called familiarly
the “world’s only drive-in volcano”.

Photo of the nearly full moon illuminates the very large new surface flow creating a new ocean entry and lights up the plume with a bright orange glow. Large chunks of lava are blown into the air building a large littoral cone constructed of tephra from steam explosions.

Image at sunrise, people on the bench. A very large new surface flow creates a new ocean entry and lights up the plume with a bright glow, large chunks of lava are blown into the air building a large littoral cone, usually small cones built near active ocean entries, the cones are constructed of tephra from steam explosions.
