A lava lake within HalemaÊ»umaÊ»u produced nighttime glow that was visible via HVO’s Webcam during the past week. The lava level fluctuated with a deflation-inflation cycle and varied between 39 and 50 m (130 and 160 ft) below the rim of the Overlook crater.

On KÄ«lauea’s East Rift Zone, the KahaualeÊ»a 2 flow continued to be active northeast of PuÊ»u ʻŌʻō. After the flow front stalled in late January at a distance of 7.8 km (4.8 mi) northeast of PuÊ»u ʻŌʻō, surface flows have been active behind the stalled flow front. This week, the flows reached the stalled flow front, and are active about 7.8 km (4.8 mi) northeast of PuÊ»u ʻŌʻō. Webcam images indicate that small forest fires are continuing.

There were no earthquakes reported felt on the Island of Hawai‘i in the past week.
