A lava lake within Halema‘uma‘u produced nighttime glow that was visible via HVO’s Webcam during the past week. As of Thursday, April 10, the lava level for the week had only minor fluctuations, generally staying around 44–48 m (144–157 ft) below the rim of the Overlook crater.

On Kīlauea’s East Rift Zone, the Kahauale‘a 2 flow continued to be active northeast of Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō, slowly moving through remote forest. The active flow front was 8.3 km (5.2 miles) northeast of the vent on Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō as of Wednesday, April 9. Webcam images indicate that small, lava-sparked forest fires continue to burn.

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