The lava of Fissure 8 flow swallowed 725 acres and destroyed 612 homes in 2018. #Fissure8 #crater #2018volcano #Volcano #volcanonationalpark #lavaflow #lava #travelhawaii #hawaiiislands #bigislandhawaii #bigislandhawaii #bigislandphotographer #konahawaii #hawaii #roadtriphawaii #dreamamericausa #edreamamerica #roadtrip (at Fissure 8) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS5OeTKpBEj/?utm_medium=tumblr

The edge of the 2018 lava flow from fissure 8 on the big island of Hawaii. Absolutely mind blowing just how much material can ooze from the Earth in such a short period of time. December, 2018.

Just got back from an extremely intense trip to the Big Island to be with PELE and the beautiful Ohana of Puna. Much love and prayers to everyone that’s been effected by Pele’s cleansing. What a powerful and humbling experience to witness. #PunaHawaii #Pele #Aloha #Ohana #Volcano #BigIsland #Fissure8 #Blessings

Lava be truckin. 🌋🌋🌋🔥💨 #Repost @milekalincoln ・・・ #LeilaniEstatesEruption #KilaueaVolcano UPDATE (June 15 at 7:45 PM): Any guesses on how quickly this river of lava is racing?! This is another unbelievable video taken about two hours ago by Ken Boyer inside #LeilaniEstates from Pōmaikaʻi Street of what #Fissure8 is producing. This footage hasn’t been altered in any way as you can tell by the voices in the background and the sound of coqui frogs. Experts are still trying to determine how quickly this flow is moving, but an assessment from USGS HVO geologists earlier this week indicates fissure 8 is producing A LOT of volume as it continues erupting with no sign of stopping or slowing. Scientists believe it’s pumping out about 100 cubic meters per second — which is the equivalent of about 26,000 U.S. gallons per second or enough to fill 12 commercial dump trucks per second!! According to the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory: “Today, lava fountains from Fissure 8 reached heights between 100 and 130 ft with bursts up to 180 ft while the cinder and spatter cone that is building around the fissure is now about 170 ft at its highest point. Lava is flowing through the well-established channel from fissure 8 to the ocean at Kapoho. Occasionally, lava spills over the channel levees. The ocean entry remained fairly broad with laze blown onshore. Fissures 16 and 18 continue to ooze lava. The early afternoon overflight found the Fissure 8 vent, channel, and entry stable with a small amount of expansion at the southern boundary of the flow near the coast and south of Vacationland. Fissure 24 (southeast of Fissure 8) seemed to be steamier and emitting more fume. Fissure 9 (southeast of Fissure 24) appeared hotter and will be checked on the ground this afternoon. Between 6 am and noon, more than 180 earthquakes occurred in the Kīlauea summit area, 18 of which were stronger than magnitude-3.0. An explosive event occurred at noon today that produced an ash and gas plume to nearly 10,000 ft. Seismicity dropped abruptly after the explosive event but is expected to build up slowly over the next hours. Stay tuned to @HawaiiNe (presso Hawaii)
