A new eruption of the Halema’uma’u crater, located in the Kīlauea volcano (Hawaii), began early Wednesday, this Wednesday, generating lava sources between 45 and 90 meters Height from a breathlessness in the northern sector, as reported by the Hawaii volcano observatory.
Images of the United States Geological Service (USGS) captured the time of the eruption, which maintains the level of alert in surveillance and the color code in orange.
Until now, the north vent lava flows have covered 20 % of the halema’uma’u crater floor.
The authorities have insured that all eruptive activity is limited to the halema’uma’u crater, located within the National Park of the Hawaii volcanoes, so the commercial airports of the Hawaii County (that of Keahole and Wire) will not be affected.
This new episode marks the most recent event in a series of about thirty lava explosions that began on December 23, when the current intermittent eruption of the halema’uma’u crater began.
Most of the episodes of lava emanations since then have made an approximate duration of a day or less, according to the USGS.
