The dusk views are the best views in my opinion.

Pele is still dancing for us and sharing her lava love.

🌋When is Kīlauea going to erupt again? Possibly today, possibly tomorrow. 🤷🏽No one really knows. What do we know? The ānuenue (rainbow) weather continues at the summit.
🌈In Hawaiʻi, ānuenue signal the presence of akua (gods or chiefs or elemental forces).

🧪🌋⚒️ This never gets boring. A pulse of hot lava meanders down the vent proximal surface flow this morning at Kilauea volcano #Hawaii. More than just pretty, Volcanologists study time variations of lava, tephra & gas distribution, movement, & composition to understand volcanic processes and hazards

HVNP Eruption update, 3:15 p.m. July 15.
Kīlauea continues to erupt from the N vent. Earlier today, the lava fountain reached nearly 1,000 feet but has since dropped back to around 400 feet. Still impressive!
The N vent is feeding voluminous flows that are streaming into Kaluapele.

#Kaluapele is the #Kīlauea #caldera, the delineations and even presence of which have been anything but static through time reflective of the dynamic nature of Pelehonuamea.

Precursory activity and the onset of episode 40-These episodes began on December 23,2024 at Kaluapele-Kilauea Caldera. This looks to be a bit different from the previous fountaining episodes, large volumes of lava. It looks like a fast moving River. Quite beautiful #viral #travel #bluesky #nature
