The formerly empty Halemaʻumaʻu Crater filled with lava, with molten rock gushing up in a spectacular fashion. The gurgling, roiling mess of lava continued into the evening as webcams and U.S. Geological Survey and National Park Service scientists captured striking images of Earth spilling its guts.
As of now, the eruption is confined to the crater and poses no immediate threat to those living in the shadow of Kīlauea, meaning we can mostly gawk at the stunning images. That said, the USGS has issued a red alert warning, and the area near the eruption is closed due to hazards in the vicinity.

A significant upwelling into the caldera. Hard to determine scale, but the new level is up many many feet.
Have the Biden Democrats blamed “Climate Change” yet?
The Hawaiian ones are too busy protesting the ten meter telescope, due to Pele’ or some other savage crap.
All the real action happens when that lake drains.
No CO2 being released into the atmosphere there. Nope. No sir-eee.

Thank you
My pleasure.
Cool pictures!
What was wrong with the old lake of lava? ;^)
Guess what is downwind? The place that measures global CO2.
When I first moved to the big island in 2000, you could get really close to what is now “the lake” in Halemaumau. In 2018 that area was destroyed and I doubt that the public will get that good of access ever again.
Funny that in the area where housing was destroyed in the 2018 eruption, people are clamoring to rebuild.
People aren’t too bright.
I live in a “safe” volcano area, but know that my access to the outside world could be severely limited at any time.
Are you close to South Point?
No. I’m northern Hamakua. Close to Waipio valley.
Waipi’o Valley is beautiful. I’m not sure if the walk down or up is worse...
The single longest span of distribution electrical conductor I have ever seen is there. A good bit higher than the lookout to the valley floor.
The horses are cool as well...
The Hawaii I live in is way different from everyone thinks Hawaii is. Hopefully we can keep it that way.
I think you’ll be fine where you are.
The rich people like Kona side better.
