Summary edit

Description

Last week, at Kilauea volcano, the lava flow from the north spatter cone, in Puʻu ʻŌʻō, a new lava flow came close to the north rim of Puʻu ʻŌʻō crater, where our webcams are situated. Fortunately, no equipment was damaged, but because of this proximity, several of the webcams and other pieces of equipment were moved to higher ground on Puʻu ʻŌʻō.

It's estimated that Kilauea began to form 300,000 to 600,000 years ago and the volcano has been active ever since, with no prolonged periods of quiescence known.
