Every pizza roll ever…🌋
Hot, hot, hot! Timing is everything if you hope to see the current Kīlauea summit eruption, which is entirely within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park. The volcano continues to fascinate us with its “ups and downs.” Lava rises, flows and fountains within Halemaʻumaʻu as pressure inflates, then drops, sometimes for days, to unseen levels as it deflates. Rewind, repeat. Yesterday, no lava could be seen. This morning, lava became visible again around 1:20 a.m. By 4:30 a.m. there was spectacular viewing for those on the Keanakākoʻi side of Kaluapele past sunrise.
This video, shot through a 600 mm lens before sunrise, shows a close up of the approximately 30.5 meter (100-foot) cone that has built up on the west end of the lava lake. The eruption has produced around 45 million cubic meters (12 billion gallons) of lava since it began September 29, 2021.
